July 7 2009 Extravaganza - Prediction = True
My resolutions for 2013.

  1. Be unafraid: I’m not especially timid, but misplaced fear holds me back more than it should. It probably holds most of us back more than it should. They’re mostly dumb things to be afraid of: having a conversation at a party, trying hard at something and failing. These fears are irrational and run counter to what I really want for myself. If I’m going to look at my life more with love than with fear, I’m going to have to bring these fears to the surface, recognize them and deal with them at the time.
  2. Publish a picture every day: We carry these amazing devices that allow us to share what we’re seeing with anyone in the world. It’s crazy to not use it that way. So far, I’ve kept this up, publishing to my Twitter and/or Instagram pages.
  3. Write every day: I’ve managed to keep this up every day, so far. It’s difficult. I’ve been using 750words.com to manage my writing, and I hope the stuff I’m developing there will become fodder for this blog. Otherwise, it’s just a good way to keep track of my life and to record what I’m doing.
  4. Complete the STP: I want to join the Seattle to Portland group ride this summer, but I’ll need to train for it.
  5. Other habits: these aren’t resolutions, per se, but rather habits that I’m trying to develop for myself.
    1. Keep my clothes organized. We just reorganized our closets and now everything is organized. I’d like to keep it that way.
    2. Media-Free Friday. I recognize that I use a lot of media in my life, and that it’s probably healthier to live with out it on a regular basis. I want to read, play board games, go for long walks and have conversations.
    3. Meatless Monday: There is just too much meat in my diet. I prefer meat over most other foods, and that is not good for me or the planet. I need to participate in this day more regularly.
