2010 New Year's Resolutions

When we finally move down to Florida in few weeks it will be right on the cusp of the new year.   This undertaking will generate a new feeling side of me - a rejuvenation to enable me to start some old traditions like making resolutions each year.

I have some ideas that I would like include in my 2010 new year's resolutions such as being more active by exercising daily.  At least use the WiiFit for 30 minutes each day to stretch and then perhaps ride my bike (after I get the tires inflated) every other day.  I would like to swim too if my girlfriend joins a gym I could too and we could both swim.  That would be fun.

I want to continue to write on a regular basis, first in this blog and then once in a while to add more content to some of the non-fiction books I would like to write including the one titled "Between Bipolar".  I want to continue to record my poetry on the computer so that I can publish my next set of poems, that will be a challenge for me in the year 2010.  I wouldn't mind having a second book printed. 

Having all the pictures of our family when we grew up will encourage me to soon scan them into the computer so that I can send them to various memebers of the family.  I think that would be near to accomplish, so that eventually I can just store the family photos and not worry if they get lost or damaged cuz I will have them on a CD or DVD.

I definitely want to make sure that I unpack all my boxes at the new house, but being sure to store the empties in the basement of the house.  I don't want to have to get boxes again and again and again.  This way we won't suffer or have a high out of pocket cost to get more boxes - at least the ones with covers on them like our medium and large boxes that we got from usedcardboardboxes.com.  Getting cardboard boxes from this place is much easier than traveling from store to store searching for the right type of boxes with tops to them instead of having to buy them.  But I find that going online and ordering them is much easier, they come with packing tape and is just more convenient.  I just don't want to spend the money and have to do this all over again, so we definitely are saving these boxes when we unpack them.

I know that in the past I have been reluctant to unpack anything because of the chance of having to move again, but I hope to break this habit and just go with the flow and make our house a livable home because we need to enjoy our surroundings for the next 365 days - or in our case minus the 2 months we won't be there.

I want to also concentrate on my relationship to make it stronger than ever.  I want to buy a diamond ring for my girlfriend so that she has a symbol of my love with her always.  I also want to travel one other time other than the trip we have planned to Cancun as soon as we get to Florida (a little vacation after we drive down to Florida and unpack some of our stuff) - perhaps on a cruise with my girlfriend and my parents somewhere together. 

These are some of my desires to accomplish this next year, if I push myself a little I am certain that these can be done and maybe more.  I really want to concentrate on my health this next year, perhaps stop smoking after we drive to Florida.  We'll see.
