Resolute

Resolutions.

I feel like they can be too easily broken.  I almost don't want to make one afraid that I won't keep it.  But as more than one person has asked me what my resolutions are, I really have to think about it.

This sounds cheesy.  It is what we all say, right?

We list.

Well, I do want to lose weight, but more than that I at least want to continue to work out at the gym at a regular basis like I've been doing for a few months now (although some weeks are better than others).

I do want to attempt to run another half marathon.  I've been saying this to myself for about 2 years and still haven't gotten around to doing it, but there is a group from church that is running the St. Louis Go! that raises money for Team Living Water.  That just might be the motivation I need.

But more than just losing weight or accomplishing a list of things just to cross off, I truly just want to better myself.   Not necessarily for myself though. 

For you. 
For family. 
For him. 
For friends. 

Maybe I just want to think about my actions a little bit more and how they impact those around me.  I don't do that enough.  Usually, it is all about me.  Sometimes, it is tiring no matter what way you lean - towards yourself or others.  But I think know one is more rewarding in the end.
