2008 Resolutions

I realize resolutions don't have to be made at the start of the New Year, but I'm a sucker for symbolic milestone and threshold moments. Here are a couple of goals I hope to accomplish in 2008:
  1. Poder hablar español. So that I can be more effective in my community advocacy work. Daily lessons (e.g., with the Scots on Coffee Break Spanish) should help. Also seeking a conversation partner. Anyone?
  2. Relearn how to ride a bike. I'm over the childhood trauma and am ready to climb back on that gel seat. These reasons are good motivations, and maybe I'll use some tips from here. Target goal: To ride in Critical Mass in SF sometime this year...(w/out getting run over).
The other items on my list fall into the general recurring categories of "Live with intentionality, purposefulness, and deliberateness" and "Maintain a healthy physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional lifestyle". (e.g., I intend to enjoy only half a slice of pumpkin pie after my Powerwalk so that my bathroom scale will continue to hover between "Marilyn Monroe" and "Kim Basinger" when I step on it,...which will make me happy.)
