I have really enjoyed reading everybody 2008 highlights and all the pics and if I had time (I really need to get off of here and get the Christmas stuff down and the house clean and all that fun stuff) I would probably do it too... Instead I want to know what your 2009 resolution is??? I am still trying to decide rather to make one or not cause like I heard yesterday "Why make promises that you can't keep".. Here are some that I would like to keep...
1. As always I say I want to loose weight and get healthy but it seems every year I say that I gain the weight instead so I don't want to say that this year...
2. I reallllly want to get my house in order and painted and some updates done. Our house is to small for the 5 of us and when we moved here it was a 5 yr plan and now it is 6 yrs and we are still in it and every time I mention moving Eric says we can move to Goucher now if you don't know where that is let me tell ya it is between Paclot and Gaffney and there is NOTHING around there. I am a country girl but I do like be able to run out at 10 to get milk and back at home by 10:10.. So, I need to be happy here and just get somethings done...
3. I want to be a better friend. I want to listen more, send b'day cards out you know all that stuff...
4. Going with that I want to be compassionate and more forgiving. I have a heart but sometimes I don't know how to use it and I am giver but I want to give more...
5. I want to spend time with my kids and husband more and not be on the go so much. But I do have 2 teenage boys and they are on the go too.. Maybe we can have a family vacation this year where we all go...
6. I want to learn something new this year rather it is a craft, a language, or whatever I want to learn something. I would really like to go back to school for nursing but somewhere I don't have to do shots...YUCK
7. I want to be more positive and look at things on the positive side not look for the bad.
8. I want to continue reconnecting w/ family and friends and continue those relationships..
9. But the most important one and if I don't do the above 8 I want to know my God more. I want to spend more time with him and I want to share who is more. You know it is easy to get on the computer, to watch TV, read, talk to friends, go out but for some reason it is like you can't make time for what really matters. This year I pray to make the time. I pray to grow closer and to know him more on a personal level. I pray for family devotion nights, I pray to do a couple devotion with my husband. I pray for God to be the center of our family...
I look forward to 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!
