You’re so vain you probably think this blog is about you

I just was browsing the itunes app store for new cool apps and came across this.

I wonder if we ever stop and think how vain we can become as a society.  just a random thought that popped into my head.  make me think of that song.  You’re so vain.

31 day focus

I was in the shower today where a lot of my inspiration seems to come from lately.  The thought came to me what if I could focus my attention for the next three months on different areas of my life.  So this is what I came up with.

First 31 days  - Spiritual

I’m planning to read thru the entire bible in 31 days.  I think it is somewhere around 27 chapters a day.  Don’t know if you are someone who reads the bible every day, or if you are a hit and miss reader.  the focus is to not check something off of a to do list, but to be awed, challenged, and inspired by God’s redemptive story.

Second 31 days  -  Mental

In school I took what was equevalent of 5 years of Spanish, matching that with my 2 semsters of 2nd year college Spanish + my mexican background most people think I am fluent in Spanish.  However this is not the case.  So for 31 days I will surrond myself in Spanish again.  I don’t plan to be fluent on the other end, but just start the process of learning the language again.  Hopefully along the way my kids will begin to learn with me.

Third 31 days –  Physical

I have established a life goal that in 5 years a good friend and myself will be swimming the English Channel.  I refuse to be sitting here 5 years from now and not any closer to the goal.  So my last 31 days of focus I will be waking up at 6 am heading to a local pool and begin the process of training for the English Channel.  I think training in the water will make the life goal more of a reality then my land training has thus far.

Here is to many more inspirations in the shower, and I will let you know my progress along the way.  Hopefully I will grow by continuing in old disciplines, and by starting some new ones.
