For diet and exercise I just want to keep with what I've been doing.  Last year was the first year in my life I actually accomplished my New Year's Resolution and I lost about 70lbs.  I want to just keep eating like I did all last year and keep up the exercise I've been doing.

I want to write down all the books I read this year.  Being a librarian in the winter, I don't have to concentrate on reading any more.  I read plenty-- usually 4-5 books at a time-- but I want to keep track of them better.

I also launched this huge project I'm going to try my very best to keep up with where I created a journal for each of the six virtues from the Character Counts program used in Ohio schools (it just seemed easier to use a pre-written program).  I'm going to try to spend two months (one month each and then going back and repeating) reflecting on and working on living each virtue.  I work an extremely demanding summer job that's basically 11 weeks of pure, 60-hour-a-week, balls-to-the-wall, pressure-cooker leadership (that I love even when I hate) and I've found in the past that that molten forge really brings out both my strengths and my weaknesses.  And last year I was really embarrassed that my bosses started noticing certain weaknesses in character that until then I wasn't even aware I had.  So I really want to work on those this year, especially during the summer when it seems like every day the strength of my character is put to the test.

Other than that, just keep on the path...  I've think overall I've been heading in the right direction.  Just keep with it, go with the flow, and don't expect it all to happen overnight.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
Why bounce around to the same damn song?
