Christmas will be here for me once I finish this shift. I am off the next 7 days with Christmas eve one week from tonight. I have done all my shopping except for one little thing. The thing that is on my mind now is my resolutions. We are just a short time from year's end. I am considering what is a worthy resolution. There have been many other things that I have resolved and not accomplished. As I begin this year, I look back to January 10th when I started watching my calories and now I am at the goal I set for myself then. I have gained a lot of stamina for bike riding. I think the best use for my energy would be an emotional benefit. Something to improve my sense of being. Or perhaps I need another kind of goal like hiking all or part of the Pinhoti. I might like to improve my fitness in other areas. I could learn something new. Perhaps I should resume something I once liked but have gotten away from. I just don't know. In this coming year we have already planned some trips. The Bike Safari will be great. A trip to Alaska will be something new with new sights and experiences. I could try writing. Some folks have suggested I write a book. There is a lot that needs to be maintained. Projects that need to be done around home. I accomplished a big one with those landscaping blocks. Painting the outside needs to be done. The deck needs washing and treating. But what would contribute most to my own personal enjoyment and growth? That is the best question. I just need some time to think on that.
