New Year, New Things!

So I really hate New Year "resolutions."
These "resolutions" never get resolved, or done. Ever.

So I just want New year THINGS.
Doesn't mean I have to do them, it just means that there could be some new things happening in 2014.

The 1st New Year Thing is that I want to wake up with the sun.
God awakens us to his presence with his beautiful sunrise. Why have I been missing it all these years?
So much productivity to be done if I could wake up to see His artistic awakening.

The 2nd New Year Thing is to read more. My last post was a list of books that a group of my good friends made for me. I am the absolute worst about reading but I want to read so bad!

The 3rd New Year Thing is to spend some quiet time, preferably in the morning when I'm up with the sun.

The 4th New Year Thing is to work out duuhhh. Tory and I are going to do Crossfit. So I am fully prepared to die and hate my life for paying for that. But it will be worth it in the end…

The 5th New Year Thing is to do my best. School, work, and school again. We'll see what happens.

The 6th, and almost the most important, New Year Thing is to STAY HEALTHY. I am never healthy and it is quite the struggle.
