Yet another year has begun. A new set of promises, a new set of desires, a new set of issues... Sometimes I feel like I just want to live life without worrying about the plans I'll make, the goals I want to achieve, the standards I'll set and so on. But then, there is a calming feeling that maybe, just maybe I'll get the chance to start over -- a clean slate. My christian walk has long since been in need of an extreme makeover along with my physical body, so perhaps I'll begin there.

I want to:
- have daily devotions before I start my day
- have daily prayer time
- have a steady prayer partner / prayer group
- read / study the bible
- stop shying away from opportunities to share my life and opportunities to witness
but I don't want it to be a chore...


I want to:
- exercise 30 minutes each day
- plan healthier meals for the family
- cut out chocolate completely (except for a Slimfast and/or Boost drink...chocolate's the only way to go!)
- drink water
- stop drinking soda
- take vitamins

Outside of Spiritual and Physical Health - I want to:
- plan more meaningful events with my family
- pay more attention to my husband and children
- learn to actively listen
- work on time management skills
- learn how to show my thanks and appreciation
- spend less
- write more (posts, poetry, songs, etc)
- stop saying "son of a..." (no, I never say the last part, but I might as well)
- avoid wearing so much of the same colors

We'll see what the year brings.
