In all the busyness of this time of year have you managed to set time aside to draft out a few New Year’s resolutions?
Maybe you’ll get some time over the next couple of days. I’m hoping to get something together before the end of Thursday so that I’m ready for Friday and a brand new year. I’ve got started with a few categories or areas of life where I want to see change or growth and I have most of the ideas of what they’ll look like in in my head. I simply need to commit them to paper … er … computer.
While many people don’t believe in such things I reckon that any time we can sit down and take stock of our lives and make plans for the time ahead is time well spent.
As with every year I’m sure that many will set all the usual resolutions about losing weight, getting fitter, quitting smoking, reducing debt and all the rest but I wonder what 2010 would look like if we made resolutions and goals about improving relationships with those close to us and then asked those people, or others, for help in staying accountable to those goals.
I wonder how things would be if we made resolutions about helping those we may not even know but who need a hand up.
How would 2010 shape up if we determined that family was more important than the demands of work and then structured our schedules accordingly?
What would it be like if we decided that 2010 was the year that we would look beyond the physical and material things of this world to discover deeper spiritual meaning?
I wonder.

Yep you’re right Rodney – this is a great time of year to recalibrate our lives & focus again on the most important & vital things
Great post!

Thanks John.
I’m hoping that I’ll have enough time in the next few days to reflect on 2009 before launching into 2010. It’s been such a mixed year with higher highs and deeper lows than many years past.
