But I do like to make goals.  To me, a resolution is something that you want to change about yourself or somthing like that, and a goal is something that you want to achieve.  I&#8217;d rather set goals and strive to achieve something new in the new year.  Maybe it&#8217;s just me and maybe there really isn&#8217;t a difference, either way, here are some of my 2009 goals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lblundell\/3172185467\/\" class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Small\" title=\"2009 Goals\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3339\/3172185467_9fa03ec84d_m.jpg\" alt=\"2009 Goals\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nhere are my goals expanded on:<br \/>\n1. I want to complete a bike race (cycling&#8230;and assuming my heart will handle it)<br \/>\n2. maybe ride in the &#8220;hotter than hell&#8221; bike race in wichita falls, Tx (it&#8217;s 100 miles long so I&#8217;d better get working.)<br \/>\n3. I really want to get back in shape&#8230;not to lose weight just to get physically fit again, and so I can do #2.  Breaking your back and not being able to do much of anything physically demanding for several months makes you kinda lazy, and squishy for that matter&#8211;ha!<br \/>\n4. I need to finish reading the books I have from last year that never I finished<br \/>\n5. I really want to finish paying off our consumer debt (we&#8217;ve paid half of it off in the last 6 months&#8211;wahoo!!)<br \/>\n6. Have good health this year and stay out of the hospital (not that I really have full control over it though)<br \/>\n7. Get back into the routine of doing devotionals<br \/>\n8. Actually finish my Project 365 this year&#8230;you can follow it on my flickr stream. It&#8217;s a project where you take a self portrait of some sort for 365 days..the goal is to improve your photography techniques and help you learn lighting.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s all I have, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll think of a few more but that&#8217;s it for now.
