Mid-Year Resolutions Revisited

I figured if I was willing to post my 6 goals for the year, maybe I should post an update as well.

Social - Spend more time volunteering for a charity organization.
I leave in less than a month for Guatemala (yay!) to spend nearly 2 weeks on a humanitarian trip with several of my dear friends and with 100 others who I'm sure after a week and a half of sleeping on a cement floor together we'll come out as friends as well. A funny coincidence though, I'm traveling through Belize for a few days after Guatemala with a friend in DC and she invited some people to come too. Well, the guy coming with us happens to be a guy from my mission! And I thought I was the only single one left....

Occupational - Get married.
As mentioned in the original post, I'm still not soliciting advice on this.

Spiritual - Have more meaningful prayers.
How do you really measure progress around this? I guess not such a great goal if I can't measure it, but I'm really trying hard. Some days are definitely better than others.

Physical - Run at least 2 half-marathons this year.
One down, one to go. I may run one at the end of the month right before I go to Guatemala and then another one in October, which may be a full marathon. I haven't decided yet. And, yes, I know that makes more than 2 races, but more is better than less, right?

Intellectual - Learn a new skill.
Still trying to figure this one out. I tried several times to relearn Spanish on my own for the trip to Guatemala but I got bored with it. I need to find a good art class or something.

Emotional - Become a better communicator.
Ummm... after several disasterous episodes earlier this year, I apparently have soooo much more work on this one. Maybe I'll find a book on CD on this subject at the library to listen to on my way to and from work.
