Day 1, ok this is getting a bit long

One more continuation. This is going to define my goals for other miscellaneous areas of my life.

1) I'm going to try to continue game nights on a regular basis. I want to meet new people, and create community. I want to be salt and light. I want to be love and fun and all that cool stuff.

2) I'm going to continue to be involved in church, and I'm going to join a small group. Having a church community is really important to me. I can't put into words how much I miss being surrounded by people with the same values as me, speaking into my life. I'm not unsure of where I'm supposed to be. I know.

3) I'm going to get rid of cable, and try to make a habit of reading more. I want to actively learn. I had a dream that I went back to school (Northwest UGH) and I was not too keen on the dorms, but I was excited about class. I was very torn in my dream between the prospects of living in a dorm and higher learning. That says a lot considering my roommate was racist in my dream haha. I have a desire to open my mind and learn. I want to be well informed on current events. I want to have a solid idea of what I believe when it comes to politics (I am when it comes to religion and we know how those 'go together' ;) ) I also just want to remind myself that reading for fun is, well, fun. I loved it when I was younger.

4) I want to take a class or two. I'm not sure what type of class, but I want to take a step in furthering my education in ways that make me happy. I'm not sure if a master's degree is in my future, but I do know education is for me.

5) I want to be consistent with my volunteering. My first day of volunteering with Solid Ground is this Monday. I want to help in tangible ways. Whether I'm on the front lines or helping administratively. I want to make a difference and help in one way or the other.

6) I want to be a better apartment manager, and to keep a better planner/organizer. Those two kind of go hand in hand. I guess I need to be less lazy and actually do the job I get paid for. I want to keep the apartments clean. I want to turn things in on time. I want to create a good community here. My attitude is slowly changing ;)
