I don't really have any resolutions but ......

some things I would like to do this year include:

Be a better wife
Be a better mother
Be a better daughter/sister
Be a better friend
Read the bible more
Read at least one book a month
Run more
Listen more
Talk less
Go to Chicago
Go to Indy
Maybe take a vacation
Visit family
Send cards again
Call friends
Date Nights once a month
Spend time with girlfriends
Volunteer more
Accept me for me
Accept others for who they are
Worry less
Pray more
Think less (sounds crazy but I over analyze)
Read Dave Ramsey's book
Finish the KK series I started but never finished
Find someone to be accountable to spiritually and as a wife, mother, friend
Work More - I enjoy it and it beats staying home :-)
Don't get caught up in "stuff"
Be grateful
Be thankful



I'm sure this list could go on and on but that's some of what pops in my head:-) I think sometimes we take life and all it has for granted way too much. Life really isn't about "stuff". So what if you have a beautiful home, take vacations every other week, buy the newest gadgets the day they come out or eat the finest cut of beef. Does that make you a better person? No, it doesn't. Character is something that is seen from who you are not from what you have. I hope that when I look back over the next year, I can say that I had "good character" and that I was seen as a child of God. I don't know if it's "aging" or what but my perspective on life boils down to pleasing God not the World. I have had this perspective for years but I think now, I care less about what I have or what I want. It's about what I need and I know that as long as I have God by my side then the rest of my prayers/concerns will be answered :-)

Guess, I'm gonna get started on that list:-)
