*Read more...I love to read and can't seem to find the time after the boys came along. I have a stack of about 15 books that I've been wanting to read and I plan to read each one.
*Read the Bible...all the way through. I've tried over and over and always give up. It is the most important book I'll ever read and I know I will be blessed for doing so. I want to read it, soak it in and most importantly learn.
*Drink more water...and a little less coke. For those who know me, you know this is quite an undertaking. A cold coke is my crack, but I will try to balance out my intake with a little more water this year.
*Exercise...enough said. Whether running after my boys or walking on my very neglected treadmill, I hope to be healthier this year.
*Let people know how I feel about them...life is too short not to.
*Play softball again...I may be older and slower and I certainly don't have time, but I hope to hit and run down a few fly balls again before I am too old.
*Write letters to my boys...I bought journals for them when they were born and they remain empty. This blog is my way of sharing our daily memories but I hope to leave them with hand written letters so that maybe one day they'll know just how much I love them.
*Take a photography class...and enjoy a little something for me. Maybe, just maybe, I'll learn something.
*Pray more...spend time each day in prayer. I want to become a person who is constantly in prayer and who can pray openly with my family and especially my children.
*Enjoy quality time...spend time each day with Sam and Jack alone. If only for a moment, I want time with each boy one on one so that they can know, at that moment, they are the most important thing on my "to do list."
*Save more...spend less. I can feel my husband smiling as he reads this already.
*Stress less over a messy house...this will be very hard for me and I am not making any promises (I see nothing wrong with vacuuming every day) but I'll try. That's all I can do.
*Video more...or have someone else help video more. Are you listening, honey?
*Count my blessings...really. Not randomly or occasionally. I know how blessed I am...two healthy, wonderful boys, a Christian husband, a home surrounded by family and farm land and a wonderful family. I need to truly thank God for these things...every day.
*Give more...of myself and my resources. Follow God's principles for giving and watch as he blesses my family for my faithfulness and obedience.
*Play more...with my boys and my nephews and niece. Run, be silly, laugh and just enjoy life as they do...carefree and simply.
*Relish every second of my life as their mom...it doesn't get any better than this.
