Hello Again, Blog

So, part of my new year's resolution was to write in this blog at least once a month. I've missed two months now. I don't know exactly what happened, I think I have been running away from it. I have thought about the blog each month, and each time I thought about it, it just didn't seem like the right time to write in the blog.

But, here I am, I made it back. Maybe I will write some extra posts to try to make up for the ones I missed.

I don't have a specific objective tonight. I made myself a shabbat dinner, poured a glass of shabbat wine, and sat down to reflect on my week and my year so far.

So, the year of responsibility has had mixed success so far.

carryover the year of responsibility:
diet - fallen off a bit, but not terrible. Haven't been drinking much so that has helped. My clothes are all too big now, so I really don't want to lose any more weight.
Exercise - Not as regular a schedule as I was on, but still working out very often. Have been running fairly regularly in the mornings so that has been good.
floss & vitamins - unsuccessful so far. I don't know. I just need to keep trying i guess.

Celebrate shabbat once a month - 4/5 so far. Missed April but did attend Passover seder in April. Celebrated twice at home and twice at synagogue.

Community Service once a month - 2 / 5. Not a great ratio so far, but I did call the Tempe volunteer service this week and turned in my application to volunteer at the library. I think I will be volunteering once a week, which is way more than once a month, so i think I am making progress on my community service this year.

Manage finances - have been keeping up with the finances in Quicken every month. Still not sure if i am doing a good job of budgeting myself or not, but i definitely have been much better about keeping track of the data.

Pick up dog poop - have been better about this. Carrying bags regularly, and picking up a lot more poop. I still don't carry a flashlight. Need to start doing that. Don't pick up the poop when I can't see it.

that is the status of the new years resolutions as much as i can remember right now.

I am really confused about things right now. I can't write any more. I will write more another time.
