Resolutions

It's that time of year! I haven't really given resolutions any thought these last few years. I don't think I've ever really stuck with any New Year's resolutions ever, so I kinda gave up even attempting to list them.

However, a friend of mine asked me what they would be for this year, and I decided to give it another go. After all, I made the resolution to become a faithful Catholic again, right? So far, so good. Maybe I can stick it out with a few other things. It's always good to have a few goals for improvement in mind, so here are some for 2012.


General

Getting more physically fit.  Ah, doesn't everyone want to attempt dropping some pesky pounds?  I got John a Bowflex for Christmas, so maybe I can sneak in a few circuits when he's not looking...

Keeping up with the house cleaning.  I'm typically very organized and clean, but I've noticed that over the last few months, I've let a lot of things slide.

Reading at least a book a week.  Now that I've got my Kindle, I've blown this one out of the water.  I'm averaging about 3 a week right now, but once the holidays are over and I don't have as much time, I'd like to keep myself at 1 a week.

Saving more money - since I'm horrific with saving money and rely on John to do that for us, it's high time I get more involved and budget myself better. 

Spiritual

Add a daily rosary to my Divine Mercy chaplet.

I'd like to be better with keeping all my intentions present in my mind while praying.

Teaching Vincent more about Catholicism and getting him to patiently sit through a full Mass.

Confession once a month.

There we go.  Four in each area.  Wish me luck on these!  Do you guys have any resolutions for 2012?  How've you been with resolutions in the past?
