I’m not one to usually make New Year’s Resolutions. However, I have done 2 things today that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, so I’m thinking maybe that is progress enough to feel confident to make a few resolutions. Let me start with what I’ve done today. First, I did some spiritual reading along with morning prayer this morning. I paid a whopping 99 cents for an app on my iPhone called iBreviary. It has the Divine Office (or Liturgy of the Hours) loaded on the for each day, so I decided to give it a whirl. Second, I finally peeled off 2 stickers inside my car that have been there since last summer. One was just the sticky from an old registration sticker, and the other was my 07-08 UD parking sticker (yes, it has been piled up with the 08-09 since August…).
Anywho, here’s a few things I’m thinking about sticking with this year:
- I want to keep up with this blog! I seriously want to write 1-2x a week on here. I can’t believe it’s been since October since I’ve posted anything. I feel like such a slacker. I seriously got so wrapped up in writing for school that I didn’t think I had any more words. Really, I just didn’t make it a priority. Is anyone even still reading this thing? I promise, I will give you more, and more interesting, material!
- I want to go get my allergy shot 2x a week. Random, I know. But, I have to wait 20 minutes each time I go, so I feel like it is such a chore! I was lucky to make it in 1x/week last fall. I want to do what I’m supposed to do to try to get rid of these allergy problems – and that means a 2x/week commitment!
- I want to do more spiritual practices. I want to read more spiritual books. I want to go on a silent retreat at Montserrat. I want to do morning and evening prayer. The reading stuff may go out the window as soon as school starts back in two weeks, but maybe I can get into a routine between now and then. Plus, it will give me many more interesting things to share with you here!
- I want pick out pictures and order my wedding album. It is already paid for as part of the package we got, but for many reasons I won’t list here we just haven’t done it. This seriously needs to be done before the end of this month!!
- I want to organize my time better. That includes me getting up earlier in the morning – a struggle I have had all my life and will continue to have everyday. (this is something I did NOT do today...arg!)
Ok, so 5 resolutions. Not too bad. Do you have any to share? Any ideas to help me with any of mine?
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to writing more in 2009. :)

thanks for your post and for their valuable suggestions. iBreviary is still under development and your suggestions will certainly be useful to add new features.
I hope that through your blog many people may know ibreviary and you can spread the news to your contacts. Thank you

just wanted to say that we got married in april 06 and didn't order or wedding pics (or pick them out) until August!!! I still need to go pick them up! Hope ya'll are doing well! :) Good Luck with your resolutions!
nice. it took us a year to get our album together too!! :) can't wait to read up on you!
we're still out here! One blogger to another, don't feel guilty about a break in posts... sometimes you need a breather to regroup. On the other hand, don't feel like every post needs a week of thought. Off the cuff is fine - we're all friends here. :)
