I can’t find a post about New Year’s Resolutions in 2013, but I did locate some from 2012
Write three things I’m grateful for prior to each journal entry.
Try one recipe each week.
Track my finances once per week.
Do the plank exercise for 2 minutes following each run.
Start Graduate school for Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy.
Get Theresa back on her own blog.
Hug my kids every morning.
Pray every night.
Take deep breaths whenever I notice myself getting anxious.
Lose remaining pregnancy weight, 8 pounds.
I really haven’t been writing much at all. Not in my journal or here. I feel like I’m searching for something that could hold value for someone else, and I have come up short. I think I’m happier than I once was. It feels that way, because I spend less time wrapped up in self drama and more time playing with my kids and making lists to get things done.
I have been thinking a lot about organizing our home better as well as planning out meals.
I’m trying to think up some realistic goals and Ariel is on my back (literally!) choking my neck in a hug 🙂
The song from the 80’s movie “She’s having a baby” continues to play in my mind. I rented that movie for my birthday and watched. There are many good parts. The part I’m thinking about now is when Kevin Bacon and Alec Bladwin are sitting outside the church before Kevin is about to get married. When Kevin asks his friend if he thinks he’ll be happy, Alec tells his, “You will be happy, but you won’t know it.”
For 2014, I want to take some time to “know it”. Too often we look back and realize how amazing someone or something in our lives was.
In the quiet (and noisy) parts of my day, may God grant me the wisdom to know what I have and to be aware of the love and happiness that surrounds me.

Hugs to you!
