So it is February already and I haven't yet reported to you on how I am doing on my resolutions. In part, I haven't reported because I wanted to give myself a couple of extra days (or a week) to try to make myself feel and look better. So here it is, my report:
Will not be lazy--I haven't been too bad with this. When I'm not sick (which hasn't been too often) I get up out of bed at a good time. Unfortunately, I still watch too much tv--will work on that for next month.
Will stay in control of mail in-box--is completely empty right now at this exact moment!
Will not get annoyed with family--urrmmm will work on this for next month
Will not get upset over men--actually this is a bit of a cheat for me because I am so past getting upset over men. Getting upset over people who belittle me for being single or try to console me for being single all while in or not-so-inadvertently insulting me (I actually had one woman approach me after I was called to be a nursery teacher and tell me that she new I was going to get that calling because that is where they send all the women who can't get married--I know!!! I was good and just smiled all the while thinking that my situation could be worse than just being single: I could be married to her husband. (And while we are on the subject--kind of --of nursery, parents do not bring your sleeping children to us and expect us to take them off your hands; also parents please refrain from leaving your child in a dark nursery room with no adult supervision you can wait an extra minute for one of us to get there; and please pick up your children within say 5 minutes of church getting out cause coming 15 minutes after it is out is really not gonna work for us) So really I should probably change this one to not getting upset over married people who think I am less of a person because I am still single, but I think I need a freebie so I am keeping "Will not get upset over men"
Will be positive about everyone--obviously (see above) I still need to work on this one.
Will develop inner poise--I don't know how to define inner poise, but I don't think I have it yet.
Will lose 10 pounds--I lost 3 pounds and then gained 2.
Will purge flat of extraneous matter--urrmmm will work on this for next month
Will give away horrible clothes--This is the one I needed a couple of extra days to work on. I've given them all away. I even gave away my "I haven't done laundry for awhile and I'm desperate" clothes!
Will improve career and find new job--Am taking 2 college courses to help me with some hands-on training.
Will read books and listen to classical music--I read books, but I think I've only listened to classical music once this year--maybe I need a classical music mix.
Will go to the gym--urrmmm will work on this for next month
Will make music mood mixes--Yeah!!! I've done this one.
Will read Book of Mormon--Working on it
Will read Joseph Smith lessons--urrmmm will work on this for next month, but I am only 3 chapters behind so it is not hopeless
Will read from Preach My Gospel-- urrmmm will work on this for next month
Will write in journal--I'm working on it
Will do Family History work--Have been twice to the center to work on it!
I could do better, but I'm not failing miserably so I'm pretty pleased.
You are doing good! You made a pretty big list for yourself. I would fail if my list was any more than 3! Sad, I know. I want to smack that rude lady with the comment about nursery! Some people. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great, keep up the good work! I am falling short on my goals! Oh well, just keep working on them I guess! And I second that the nursery comment woman should be slapped.
ReplyDeleteI have been so bad at my goals this year so your doing better than me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your support. I would like to let you know that my mail in-box is still clear!
