My New Year's Resolutions

I've never been a huge fan of New Year's resolutions. Actually, I don't even think that I've ever really made one. I feel like most people start off the year with one huge, usually unattainable, resolution and then the minute they falter, they give up. That's not very motivating to me. But as I was thinking about this New Year, and even the past few years, I realized that maybe some resolutions aren't so bad. I'm kind of feeling indifferent right now, lukewarm. And I feel like I really do need some motivation. So I sat down with my pad of paper and pen and made a list of things that I want to work on this year. I feel like I should always work on being better, but to not give up on days that I feel I fail. Every day is an incredible blessing from God, and I want to really try and remember that and embrace it. So here are my New Year's resolutions...

Pray everyday - especially for my kids and my husband

Make church a priority

Cook dinner more often

Spend more time outside

Wear perfume everyday

Make my bed each morning

Eat more fruits and vegetables

Do more little things to show Matt that I love him

Enjoy every moment of this pregnancy - even though I feel so crummy right now and I'm scared and paranoid because of my last pregnancy - this baby is a miracle from God and I want to cherish every moment he/she is growing inside me

Write more notes to my friends to tell them how much I love them and appreciate them

Smile at strangers

Read the bible more often

Be more thankful for the things I have and spend less time wishing for things I don't have


Wish me luck!!!
