Oh my goodness, thank goodness, it's finally April! If you read the post from earlier today, you understand the great significance of this statement. It's most definitely spring time and I am feeling as youthful and jumpy as a spring rabbit, espeically those that avoided being eaten. You don't eat rabbit? hmm. I did once.
With the dawning of a new month, a clean slate lays before me. Before the opportunity escapes me, I'm going to quickly scribble all over it! Guess what? I'm still a kid at heart. So per the intentional living plan, I've got some goals to share with you, but I haven't yet determined which will steal the theme-y colored light for the month. (what color is theme-y? I'm over lime.)
Social
Socially this month, I planned on trying to find another volunteer organization to meet new people. If this last weekend is any indication of the beautiful weather approaching, I want nothing more than to be outside in the sunshine. Today, I registered with Habitat for Humanity, but it looks like they've got most weekend construction days booked (go figure). I'm also considering a part time job, bike classes, woodworking classes, something social. I'll keep looking. That's my goal there: I'll keep looking for new groups with new friends. Don't take that so personally old friends; I love you old friends.
Intellectual
My intellectual goal this month is to finish writing the COMPASS math test study guide I started for Candis. If you're not familiar, COMPASS is a math, reading, writing test loosely based upon the ACTs that is used to determine a person's subject placement at community colleges. I'm also using this as a testing ground for a future self-employment plan that has been brewing for a while.
Spiritual
This month I will write to the future me about what I'm trying to do this year, about what's going through my head, about my dreams, about my fears. I'm going to use www.futureme.org for this process. I will write at least one letter to be delivered one year from the date I send it. I think this exercise will be quite self-reflective and perhaps a year from now I'll have forgotten about it and past me will offer future me some wonderful insights into our psyche.
Physical
This month I will ride my bike at least 350 miles. Boom! Writing that was sure easy, now for the implementation. I'm playing along with my big brother's training for ride the rockies, only I'm not going to impose any specefic climbing requirements and I have a seemingly unlimited amount of oxygen available at sea level. I'll save the details for future posts. If you're wondering, yes, he is fact cray-cray. Also, yes, I do live with a teenager, that is the proper vernacular, but vernacular is not.
So that's it, spring has sprung and I'm to a running start!
Love,
Lydia
