This appointive year I am going to work on starting and stopping things to be more healthy, faithful and balanced.

Start

  • Creating deeper connections with colleagues in the United Methodist Church
  • More regular exercise
  • Gardening
  • Puttering about the house a bit more

Stop

  • Worrying about things that I cannot decide about or avoid
  • Caffeine (This will be a work in progress in the weeks ahead)
  • Checking email before breakfast
What is on your start and stop lists?

Haha oh man no more caffeine? I’m curious, how come?

For me, I haven’t thought through this sort of thing, but one thing I am definitely starting is controlling my diet and losing weight.
