Things I'm looking forward to in 2009
Seven and a half more months with my housemates. I'm not sure I'm as excited for seven and a half more months of working in an office. But I have enjoyed the journey with these folks so far... and looking forward to it continuing.
Running a half marathon. Less than three weeks away now. It will be good to go to Miami and hang out with Kelly. I've wanted to run another race since my first one 2 years ago now. And it's been great incentive to stay in shape. Ditto for the Cherry Blossom Race here in April.
The fantastic stack of books I got for Christmas. Already polished off Outliers by Malcom Gladwell and moving on to Unveiling Empire.
A new season of Lost. Yup.
Being in Washington DC a little longer. I have not taken advantage of exploring this city enough yet. I'll be doing that more in the coming months. Also, it will be fun to be around for the first 100 days of an Obama administration.
Figuring out a next step. Who knows where I may be in a year? Next New Years might look a lot different.
Another roadtrip. This time hopefully to New England and Canada. Though we probably won't have as much time, we'll have the wisdom of our last adventure.
Family vacation. The first real one in years. Woot!
Getting rid of some more stuff. I managed to do so a little over break. If I'm leaving the country I'd like to take with me what I can carry and leave behind as little as possible.
Reading more. Yes, I should that.
Writing more. Ditto. The blog might get more frequent updates. Hopefully.
Contemplating more. Learning to be, to listen, to be intentional. To think before I speak. To pursue love and grace as a way of living.
Continuing the journey.
