starting anew

Good goal. right? Really though, isn't it awesome that we have a great excuse to change our lives. It's a new year, so we can set new resolutions. i always hesitate to do these...because i don't want to be a failure.
But they say a dream without a plan is only a mere wish.
(A wish is something that you have a strong feeling for, while a dream is something that is longed and hoped for with ambitions, and a real dream will stay with you because the desire won't go away.)

i want this in concrete somewhere and some accountability, otherwise i flush it down the toilet. i'm kinda lazy like that.

my goals for 2010 social: serve others. do at least one kind act once a week. mail a card, make someone dinner, write a loving personal email...act on my thoughts.

physical: eat better, exercise. duh. this is actually hard for me though.

spiritual: read my scriptures. another struggle I don't prioritize.

mommy: spend quality time with my kids. I'm with them aaaaaaaaalllllll day long, but what quality time do I actually give them? Have weekly date nights with the hubs. again, if it's not a priority, it doesn't happen, and this is my most important relationship!

personal: don't procrastinate. i. am. horrible.

intellectual: stimulation other than the computer. read a book, sew, make cards, develop a new talent.

Wish me luck. I wish you luck with yours too. if you did it.

I'm excited for 2010. Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuumble!!!!!

Loved your cartoon of the husband and wife setting their goals and resolutions. Way to go, Jill. It is important to set goals. I'm going to print mine up and put them on the bathroom mirror to help me remember.

Good post. I hate resolutions too, but if I was to make one I think it would be consistency. I am really good a lot of the time on something I feel is important (like scripture reading) and then I slack off for some reason and have a hard time getting back into it. I really need to get back in the habit. I was doing so well over the summer and clear into Nov. And now? I suck. Thanks for the inspiration to get back on track.

You already are a rock star love this post!! You are awesome! its so true we spend so much time on new years resolutions only to fail before the month is over usually. thats why mine are pretty much the same as ever other year only to do it more and do it better! Goals are important though and good to work towards but we need those all year through!! ttys
