Today is my twenty second birthday. Aside from a tiny panic attack due to my inability to stay 21 forever, I am enjoying myself. I did want to set a few goals for this year, and I thought I would be more likely to accomplish said goals if I told other people about them. Here goes...
1. Eat less meat. I'm doing this for environmental reasons. Eating meat has a huge environmental impact that I would like to lessen, but I don't think I can give up meat entirely. I'll start small. I gave up meat for lent this year, and so far so good, but once Easter rolls around I will not eat meat two days out of the week. No meat Mondays and any other day of my choice.
2. I will go on a bike trip. This is an idea I've been toying with, but havn't gotten around to. This year I will. A long day trip will suffice, but ideally an overnight camping trip exclusively bike powered.
3. Start my Graduate Studies. This is the next step in my education. All I have to do is do it.
4. Write twelve more chapters for D's book. I have been writing installments of a book for a young friend of mine (he's now seven) for several years now. This year I want to write twelve more chapters. One chapter a month. I can do it.
5. Go on a silent retreat. Another idea I've wanted to try for a long time. Even if it's just me going on a camping trip by myself, I want to try this.
So to keep myself honest, I'd like to keep a food diary here. Should be interesting.
