I try to pick a word for the year on New Year’s Day. Last year, my word was peace. I definitely didn’t do my very best on some of the peaceful activities, but we had our first “family meeting” tonight and it went really well. I made some goals for myself and laid out a few expectations for my boys. So far so good. We’ll see how well it’s going by Friday. HA!
This year, I’ve chosen DETERMINED. I am determined to do and accomplish a lot in 2013.
-pay off debt
-lose weight
-run a 5K
-say “no” more
I have several other goals but I want to share those in another post maybe. We’ll see.
I am blessed—so much more than I deserve. Looking forward to a determined 2013.
Happy New Year, y’all.
Happy New Year Girlfriend! I hear ya. I wrote a post awhile back regarding saying no. I was always the one too quick to volunteer only to regret it later. The year I decided to say no opened so many doors, not only for myself, but for others willing to step into the rolls I had let go of. Knowing there were others out there wanting to do what I was doing and that would be encouraged by doing so made it soooo much easier! Just do it, and don't look back...that's my motto.
ReplyDeleteMine is to be more diligent-characterized by steady, earnest, and energetic effort... I've gotten lazy in a lot of areas of my life and so I looked up lazy and found an ANTONYM (hows THAT big 4th grade word for you!) to characterize the changes I want to make. It's funny because Eric and I were JUST talking about my "resolutions" (I hate using that word because no one ever keeps resolutions) and then I see this on Facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to be more DILIGENT in:
-Being on FIRE in my spiritual walk
-Making my home what I want it to be instead of complaining about what it isn't.
-Finding things that make me happy and DOING THEM
-Spending more QUALITY time with my family
Thanks for the extra inspritation! :)
Excited for new beginnings....I'm pulling for you!
