In the year 2009, I expect:
- A phone call in the middle of the day with good news
- A phone call in the middle of the night with bad news
- New friendships to emerge and grow
- Old friendships to require some investment and energy
- To laugh on at least one occasion
- To cry, but not as often as I laugh (I hope)
- To complain about the weather at least 27 times, maybe even twice in one day
- Some rain
- Some sun
- Some snow and flooding and landslides and fires – but not near my house, I hope
- At least one memorable trip or vacation
- At least one picture of myself that makes me cringe
- At least one victory in racquetball
- At least 10 defeats in racquetball
- To sleep in a few times
- To oversleep maybe once
- Gas prices to rise
- Gas prices to drop
- To hear worse economic news
- To not let bad economic news bring me down
- To covet an iPhone at least once
- To read some books I enjoy
- To read at least one book that deserved a refund
- More friends on Facebook
- More friends on Facebook to make easy jokes at my expense
- More friends on Facebook to experience the same toward them
- Deeper intimacy with God
- Deeper questions for God
- Greater clarity from God
- Greater wonder toward God
- Many moments when I feel younger than I really am
- Some moments when I'm reminding how old I'm becoming
- Opportunities to act my age
- Opportunities to act immaturely
- To reach the end of 2009 wondering how the year passed so quickly
