Ahh, here it is again that time of year, when we all have well intentioned goals, that remained unattained by the end of the month! lol...
No, really, I have a few this year too. I just completed reading the book of Mormon-took me 4 months, but I did it. I learned so much more this time around! It made me start thinking of other goals I have been meaning to reach, so here's a list of a few. Hope you don't mind me sharing
1. Lose 20 pounds. I'm close to my goal weight, having Jacob nursing always helps me lose, but he is slowly weaning himself. So i will have to be extra careful and pay attention to what I put in my mouth! lol...and start exercising and lifting again. My goal is to get in size 12 again.
2. Be more kind and lose the negativity. I have a tendency to look at life cynically, so I am going to do my best to look at things positively. No more half-glass empty mentality for me! I also want to be kinder in my thoughts of others. My natural reaction is to "get back" at someone if they wrong me, but his year I am going to try my best to just "walk away" and not worry about it. Now from this confession, some of you might think I have been out , street fighting with people..lol..but I am just talking about my everyday life.
Not yelling at the do-do who pulls out in front of me(by the way the kids are listening...lol),
or the person who is taking up the whole aisle with her cart at the grocery store, or the lovely neighbor who says one things to your face, but tells all the other neighbors what she really thinks about you!
3. Spend more quality time with my children and take advantage of those teaching moments when they come.
I'm hoping that you too, will take some time, and think of a few areas that could be improved in your life. I hope that your "your weak things may become strong" as it states in the Book of Mormon, with this coming year.
