Hello 2009
Hello 2009. Let’s go on an adventure.
1. Take at least one picture per day—make a collage at the end.
2. Live in the present and try not to focus too much on the past or the future.
3. Try new things even though you may be afraid.
4. Be spontaneous.
5. Run. Do not give up no matter how hard it is to run at first.
6. Run a race if possible.
7. Blog, journal, write, draw, etc. the experiences you have.
8. Start the day and end the day with reading the Bible.
9. Watch sunsets and sunrises.
10. Stargaze when you can.
11. Learn new things.
12. Write more. Keep track of this. Make goals.
13. Focus on passions and discover new passions
14. Make new memories
15. Keep saying “yes” to God throughout the year
16. Don’t worry about planning for the next thing
17. Embrace the internship for all that it is and it isn’t.
18. Keep in touch with those you love. Send packages, letters, e-mails, call them, and share life with them. Share the experiences even though they may be an ocean away.
