Progress on Goals for 2008

So I've been doing some ruthless self-analysis and I gotta say I've done a lot better so far on this years goals than at the same time last year, when everything kinda fell apart! Maybe the goals I set were more realistic this year than 2007's. Or maybe I'm well on my way to becoming a truly goal-oriented person. Who knows? Anyways, here's a summary report of my progress thus far:

Read one Christian book a month - on track, ready for next month's book which I'm gonna source in the next day or 2

Involvement in social justice - I'm enjoying this so far - only touched the tip of the iceberg though - I've gone Fairtrade (there's a dedicated cupboard for coffee, tea and chocolate in my house now), encouraged workplace and others to do so too, spent less/donated more, read up on SJ topics. Looking at writing some letters and campaigning type stuff soon.

Recommit/stick to soldiers covenant - the recommitting part was easy, sticking to it is hard - have messed up on a few of the articles, enjoying the battle though

Cooking hobby - learned how to do a lamb roast and it was delicious. Need to investigate more recipes and ideas to add to the repertoire

Savings - worked out a system where my savings can grow, while simultaneously being able to donate more each month

Healthy/environmentally responsible lifestyle - been running (bought new shoes and ipod earphones that don't fall out every 5 seconds) a bit but slacked off when it was hot, need to eat better foods, got alarmed after watching that Al Gore doco about global warming, using less power/water, recycling better, offset my carbon emissions (sounds suss doesn't it?!) when booking a flight recently 

Can't believe nearly a quarter of the year's gone already! Hopefully the next progress report will have even better results...

Cheers - Nath
