Ch-ch-ch-channnges.

As I sit just a couple of days away from starting yet another semester in college, mere weeks away from a new season (fall... yay!), and a handful of months from beginning a new year (eeks!) ... I find myself wanting to start anew and take the opportunity to make some changes. I have a tendency to say a lot of , "I wish I would...", or "I'm going to start...", but nothing ever really comes of it. I, along with most of my other fellow nerds, LOVE lists so... here you go. Hopefully, this will keep me more accountable. I'll call it...

"The Things I Want To Work on and Change About Me and/or My Life in General List"

  • Reading - I want to read more. Or more honestly, make the time to read more. Reading used to be one of my all time favorite past-times. It saddens me that it's fallen to the wayside because of things like Facebook, or zoning out in front of the TV. Time to dust off the ol' Kindle...good book suggestions, anyone?
  • Fitness - I know, I know. Even I'm sick of hearing myself say, "I'm going to start working out... next week." It's time to make hitting the treadmill a priority. Between working two jobs, going to school full time, and keeping our dirty laundry at a reasonable level, I know I need to be realistic about how much gym time I'll actually be able to commit. But hey, I'm willing to try...and something is better than the nothing I'm currently looking at!
  • Quality time - Be it a pedicure with my sister, coffee with my mom, a walk in the park with my husband... I need it. Sometimes I feel like the daily stresses and worries of life robs me of the simple pleasure of just enjoying a loved ones company. Definitely working on this.
There's more, but that's all that's coming to my mind at the moment. What changes do you think you could make in your life...for the better?
