Well, 2009 pretty much sucked, so I’m quite happy to see it dead and gone.
I’m hoping that the start of a new year and decade will be a lot better.
I’ve been trying to think up a suitably worthwhile New Year’s Resolution that is also acheivable.
So far I’ve come up with the usual “Get in better shape”,which I still need to formulate a plan for so that it can be measured.
I’ve also added something new.
When I see how we treat the animals that eventually become my food I’m always disgusted at how horrible we humans are to the rest of the creatures that share the planet with us. I think about becoming a vegetarian but then realize that I just like the foods that are made with meat too much to give it up, and so I just let it go.
This year I’m going to try something different though. I’m going to give up Beef. Maybe if I give up one animal type of meat per year or attempt then I can get there eventually. It was between Beef or Pork since either of those would have a sizeable impact on my diet, (someone suggested I give up lamb, but I eat that maybe once a year, it would be a hollow gesture). This one is effective immediately.
I’m also bound and determined to leave my current job and work elsewhere! I intend on completing this goal before March 2010.
3 solid points is enough I think.
Add to that the typical play more hockey, spend more time with friends and family, etc etc.
Cheers!
