Two Saturdays ago, I turned the big 3-1!! For the past couple of years birthdays have had a nostalgic effect on me. I flash back to birthdays past and remember what my life was like back in the day. I see how far I've come in some areas and how far I still have to go in others. Some of the memories are good and some not so good. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time just for a brief moment and then sometimes I'm glad I can't! Anyway, last year (when I turned the big 3-0) I started making a list of goals for the next year of my life. So here we go:
1. Run at least three times a week.
2. Drink more water.
3. Watch less TV.
4. Read more books, particulary my Bible.
5. Finish off at least one partially decorated room in my house before the big 3-2
6. Spend more time in prayer.
7. Try to live Proverbs 31 to the best of my ability.
8. Finish my girls' baby books.
9. Keep trying to follow the routines on www.flylady.net to hopefully one day achieve my goal of having an organized home with substantially less clutter.
10. Have a postive attitude regardless of what comes my way.
11. Make decisions that are what's best for me and my family based on prayer, not based on what I think my family, friends, co-workers, etc. would say.
And there you have it. My goals for the next year of my life. On a less serious note, the day was a good one. I spent most of the morning cleaning my house, met a good friend in the afternoon for a pedicure, and then spent the evening with my family enjoying cake and ice cream. I think its going to be a good year. I certainly have a lot to look forward to. Kindergarten, potty training, etc. Just in case you are wondering the future kindergartener and potty-trainee are two different children. The one starting kindergarten has been successfully going to the potty for two years.
Well...I guess I better get off this computer for a while. It seems I have quite a few things that need my attention!!
