12 for 2012

I’m not really one for making resolutions every year. After all, the only thing that will happen is that I break the resolution, get depressed, and try again next year. And thus the vicious cycle keeps a rollin’. Then my friend Liz blogged about her 12 for 2012.

And suddenly, I wanted to create my own 12 for 2012 list.

So here it is.

Find out what it looks like to authentically love Jesus and love others
Write more (And taking my own advice about setting realistic writing goals)
Swim a mile
Cross a few things off my old/boring/30 list
Revisit the past – start volunteering again, and get re-certified as a lifeguard
Take a cue from this book and be more intentional about relationships
Choose lovingkindness
Live with je ne sais quaoi
Climb a mountain
Seek creative, redemptive solutions to conflict in relationships instead of slapping someone with an “I’m Sorry.”
Donate a gallon of blood to the Red Cross and help save lives
Memorize a book of the Bible

There they are. My 12 for 2012. They aren’t particularly glamorous but they are mine just the same.

What are yours?

Great goals! I’m interested to read more about your Boring 30 list. I love the one about choosing creative solutions and loving kindness!

Thanks Malisa. The Old/Boring/30 list is constantly evolving. In a few years, it’s going to be the Old/Boring/40 list.

Thanks, Malisa. There’s a tab on the header that links to the list. It’s a crazy, fun list. It’s soon to turn into the old/boring/40 list.

I absolutely love Love at Last Sight! We studied it at my small group last year. That is definitely one of the things I’m continuing to work on.

That book is so good. I think more people need to read it, even if it’s to finally get it through their heads that you don’t have to become best friends with every single person who wanders into your life. Intentionality is something I have to keep relearning. :-/

Isn’t that one of the best books ever? It’s won a permanent spot on my bookshelf!

How is your 12 for 12 coming along? I’m thinking of re-visiting mine… or doing a status update on it.

So far, so good.
1. Continual! As I’m growing and seeking community, this is really starting to happen.
2. I’m writing. A lot.
3. Okay, I’m failing at this one.
4. YES
5. Starting to. But not the Lifeguarding one. I’ve really got to get into a pool.
6. Yes. Until I chicken out and don’t ask the hard questions.
7. I guess I could work on this one. It would be so much easier if there weren’t so many jerks in the world!
8. Oooooh yes.
9. There are no mountains in Texas
10. Really trying to work on this one.
11. It’s just about time for me to go donate!
12. Not memorizing but I am reading a whole lot more. It’s been really healing.
