New Year's goals

OK, I know I'm a few days late with this, but I figured it's time to share with you some of my goals for 2005. Notice I say goals rather than resolutions. Resolutions are almost always broken. Goals are only mostly broken!

1. Spend less time at the computer and more time on the bicycle.
2. Spend more time at the YMCA of Southwest Illinois.
3. Show more humility and gentleness in my dealings with other people, especially my co-workers.
4. Spend more time praying and enriching my spirituality.
5. Continue to improve upon my newspaper designing skills.
6. Spend more time with my friends and family.
7. Do more cooking at home and less eating out.
8. Eat less processed sugar and less processed grains.
9. Lose weight.
10. Be more thrifty.
    

To force myself to do more cycling, I've already scheduled myself to do the Bicycle Across Kansas, Around Illinois Back Roads and BubbaFest rides. I'm doing an Illinois ride this year because 2005 marks the 20th anniversary of my first weeklong ride, Bicycle Across the Magnificent Miles of Illinois. I hope to see some of you readers on one or more of these rides!
