I realized I never made a resolution post for June--we were so busy traveling and packing and moving, I just forgot all about it. So here's the resolution update for June and July both.
I will strive to practice yoga three times per week. My goal is 130 yoga sessions in 2009--an average of 2.5 sessions per week (or 11 per month). June was terrible for yoga--only 2.5 practices total for the whole month, what with the aforementioned traveling and packing and moving. Oh well. July was an improvement--5 practices total, almost averaging 2 per week. I am hoping to step it up in the fall.
I will increase my charitable donations and will give at least $20 per month. I did double donations in June: one to my friend Reagan's 64-mile bicycle ride to support breast cancer research, and another to Mustard Seed Communities, because my saintly friend Missi is doing a mission trip with them to volunteer at an orphanage for deaf and disabled children in Nicaragua. In fact, she's there right now. Yes, really, she's a much better person than I am. July's donation went to Abington Memorial Hospital's hospice program, in memory of my Uncle Chick. I also gave $5 each to my college alma mater and to the college where F works, so he can track the donor mailings.
August's donation, which I just made, went to my coworker Tim's annual bowling tournament to support blood cancer research.
I will sweep the floor weekly. After moving in to our new place, the floors were terribly messy. But oddly enough, we've ignored them so long that it's come full circle--now it seems there's less crud sticking to the bottoms of our feet, so maybe the floors are cleaning themselves. (The bathroom, however, isn't.)
I will spend more time outdoors. Unfortunately I've been spending a LOT of time indoors lately, unpacking. We did take Heather and Dann to Ridley Creek Park over Bastille Day weekend (mid-July), which was pretty awesome, and we've gone for some nice walks around F's campus (which, again, is right across the street from our new place). I'd love to get out to the park again sometime soon. Or, actually, the place we chose for our wedding has a nature trail along the creek, so maybe we'll just go there.
