New Years are about resolutions and while I don't usually buy into that, this year I have a few things I want to focus on. Two really. One is sort of multifaceted while the other is very traditional.
The traditional one is weight loss. I have to be honest and say this is really the first time in my life that I actually feel commitment to this goal. I am thinking that, that fact will make the difference. I have two motivations in this. The first is to be a healthful example for my two little girls who every day are tuning in more and more to the things I do. The second, is the wedding of a good friend, my college roommate, coming up this June. I am going to be a bridesmaid and I want to look nice for the ceremonies. Mark is also in on this goal with me and I think that will help. He was very successful last year and lost 60 pounds, but sort of slacked off toward the end of the year and he wants to pick back up.
The other goal has to do with intentionality. I wants to be intentional with my relationships this year. I want to focus on people and how I can show them love. I want that of course to start at home with my family, but then also extend into all areas and places. Jesus loves me so much, and I want to be part of sharing His love with others. To go with this I will also have to be intentional with my choices, to look at my schedule and what fills it so I can have the time to focus on things that matter. I want to be intentional with my attitude. To choice peace and joy because that what Jesus offers to me and wants me to choose minute by minute.
2012 was a pretty good year. I feel like I grew a lot in my relationship with God, with my husband, and as a mother. It is my prayer that this time next year I will be able to say the same.
Happy New Year!
