Happy New Year from Fountains of Youth!
Courtney LeMay here apologizing for a long break between posts. This blog was started for a class, and that class is now over—all classes, really, because it’s Christmas break. I’ll try to have more consistency when school starts back up.
I just got back from celebrating the new year with my teammates; we’re preparing for a mission/training trip to Joplin, Mo., in the morning for swim practices and tornado clean-up. I’ll share more on that later.
Another thing I’m about to start is a month-long “sugar fast.” No sweets, no soft drinks, and (sadly) no chocolate for the entire month of January. My best friend and I are trying it out as part of an attempt to be even healthier in 2012. Some of my other resolutions include:
- Consistent physical therapy on my shoulder (3 times a week).
- Getting enough sleep on school nights: at least 7 hours.
- Reading my Bible every day, at least one verse a day. (Last year I started working towards a daily prayer time; this year, I’m focusing on adding Bible reading.)
- Having a positive outlook during swim practice; avoiding negative comments.
- Make beautiful things! Photography, film, writing or even coming up with that perfect joke—this year, I want to improve my beautification skills!
My best friend's already got a head start on the last resolution: he got a new camera for Christmas! Photo by Courtney LeMay
