Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

My co-worker does a thing every birthday where she states she will try to do (X) amount of things before her (X) birthday. So for me it would be 34 things I want to do while 34... (Yes you read that right I am going to be 34... YIKES...

Anyway 34 things I would like to do while 34 are...

INTELLECTUAL
1. Complete the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge (I really miss reading and now that I am no longer a student it would be nice to get back to it)

2. I would like to get rid of 52 books off my shelf (ones I liked but don't feel they are NEED TO KEEP and take up space) I can do this by completing my TBR reading challenge

3. I would like to pick up a new hobby to do while watching TV like either crochet or knitting possibly cross stitch again...

4. I would like to finish teaching myself Greek it is something that I enjoyed and would like to learn more of and how to read it properly.

5. I want to complete my 5 year journal by actually participating in the majority of it this year (you can check it out here)

6. I would like to clean off my kindle and get it under 600 books

7. I would like to get back to reviewing more of the books that I have read just for memory sake and seriously I read some really, really good books that need to be shared with the world.

8. Complete my alphabet title reading challenge

9. Read 15 new to me authors

10. Finish 3 series that I have sitting on my shelves

11. Brush up on my ancient and medieval history (my undergrad degree is in this) I sorely miss reading more history.


SPIRITUAL
12. I completed a fast for the first time yesterday and feel that I should do it more often. I would like to do another fast in this year. I truly felt it brought me closer to God.

13. Find a church that both mom and I enjoy going to on Sunday. I think it is time to get back into the church scene.

14. I would like to read the complete Bible this year. I need to completely re-read it and dig in deeper to the Word.

15. I would like to finish up a few Bible studies this year either through my Bible study partner (A you know who you are) or my Bible Study group.

16. Complete a nothing by religious music for 30 days challenge

17. I would like to keep a spiritual journal for when reading the Bible and any inspiration that strikes me during that time.

PHYSICAL
18. For my Christmas gift from one of my besties I got a Garmin Vivo fit thingy and it has challenged me to walk 7500 steps daily. I would like to reach that goal.

19. Once I reach the goal of 7500 steps I would like to increase it before 35 to 10,000 steps a day (I live a very low to little moment lifestyle and need to change that.

20. I would like to continue my week of no soda and in my 34th year I would like to completely break the addiction to soda. Basically I need to drink more water and my goal this year is to do just that.

21. With all that I would like to add in 3 days of some type of exercise or movement. I do not exercise currently and with my lifestyle and diet I am not a 100% at my best.

22. I would like to get into the habit of taking my vitamins and thyroid medicine so that 34 can be the healthiest year yet for me.

23. I would also ideally like to get back down to the weight on my driver's license...

WEALTH... or lack thereof
24. I would like to complete my no spend month which started 4 days ago in an attempt to get me to stop eating fast food, spending money for no reason and to help me plan in advance.

25. I would like to work on my debt and getting out of it for once... instead of deeper

26. I actually would like to start a savings account and I don't maybe actually put money in it for a rainy day or vacation or something.

27. There are 2 paintings at IKEA that are calling my name that I need to save up for...

FUN

29. I would like to go to St. Louis Wizard World in May to see more actors

30.I would like to go to Chicago in August to the Stargate Con (I mean I have to go to this one)

31. I would like to take a cruise vacation with my friend Natty per our usual girls vacation trip once a year. I need to renew my passport so I can take said cruise...

34. Spend some more time with my mom! I am blessed that she is so close to me and I need to appreciate it more


***Lastly I am doing a success jar for 2015. Any moments that I am proud of go in the jar and next year on New Years Eve I am going to read about all the times I was proud of in 2015! I am super excited to do it. (I will post more on this over at the other blog Sarai's Cray Cray Life) ***
