No resolutions?

     I am as usual blown away by people saying that they are not making New Years resolutions. Really? You don't want to change a thing about your life? You don't need to improve on anything? Wow, I can't imagine that feeling. I sit today overwhelmed by all that I am resolving to do in the upcoming year. Literally thousands of things come to mind. I could list for days. I know that some would view having that many resolutions as foolish and true enough I will fail miserably at achieving most of them but at least you can't say I don't have goals. So here goes...

This year 2013 I want to:

Listen more
Talk less
Eat more fruits and veggies
read more
write more
attend some theatre
attend some concerts
cook more
eat less
laugh more
hug more
raise my voice less
purge my house of clutter
set up functional routines that help me keep things in order
meal plan
take Macy for a manicure
have more date nights
take Luke on an overnight getaway to do something fun
have a dinner party
pray more
read my bible more
stay on top of routine health stuff
give more

work on my photography passion
 make holidays more memorable
display family photos so we all can enjoy them
give more thoughtful gifts

get involved in a cause that my family can all participate in
put more thought and effort into our teaching at church
say no sometimes

I think this is an unending list. I have several personal goals, dreams, and plans as well, but for now I will leave it at that. I encourage everyone to think about what they want to do this year, challenge yourself. Sure you won't do it all, but maybe just maybe you will have fun trying and be proud of yourself when you look back on 2013 on this day next year. Happy New Year to all!!
