Survival of the fittest?

October is shaping up to be a magical month of respite after one of my most busy summers. Tonight, I made it through the craziness of September! I survived the conference we hosted at work; I survived the destination wedding; I survived twenty tutoring sessions; I survived switching cars from Anatevka to the M6; I survived transitioning to a new volunteer commitment; I survived life in ministry for one more month. Now for catching up with all of the odds and ends (such a useful phrase) that have accumulated over the past several weeks.

With a bit more time available, here are some goals for the next few months: 
1.) Give away 1/3 to 1/2 of my belongings.
2.) Increase exercise to three or four days a week.
3.) Rest.
4.) Read at least four or five of the books in the waiting stacks.
5.) Practice Spanish.
6.) Watch a movie. (Sounds silly, but it rarely happens.)
