Resolutions

Cinderella, how neat!

Last year I focused on forgiveness. The year prior kindness. And in years prior creativity, ect.

This year I want to focus on Grace. It keeps coming up for me. That means learning about it, thinking about it, practicing it, giving it, all aspects of it. Let it be a year of grace. In years past I've learned there is no real way to measure the progress for the intangible. I just keep it in mind, meditate on it, spend some time focusing on it, and working with it. Last year was a real surprise how the intangible gifts helped and changed my life. I wonder what will come up this coming year with Grace.

Grace has been coming up in my life a lot lately...this gives me something to think about! Thanks

I put this in another thread, but:

Write my first book (I finally have no more excuses, so I need to just do it)

Run a 10k or half marathon with DH (he needs some prompting, but has already gone in search of good shoes)

Sell this house, and find another one to possibly buy in the new location
(Sell house sell!)

Join a crossfit gym or yoga studio (my workout franchise doesn't exist in the new location - I may eventually open my own, but I need to get a routine down for myself first)

Baby#2 (not an announcement, yet!)

Surfing - one of the best spots on the east coast is close by, and I'd love to get back into it. DH is worried about sharks (and with good reason), so I'll need to scope it out and look at data.
(Inlets are always problematic...)

Start a new veggie/herb garden in the new place

Over the past week I had a real come to Jesus meeting with myself. I watched a couple sermons online and its really come to my attention that I've been resentful and extremely unappreciative of my life in general and all the blessings in my life. Occasionally in the past I have a moment when I'm reminded all my dreams and prayers from 8-9 years ago have come true. I think my light bulb moment is I need to actively work on this. Being grateful for my life journey isn't something that comes naturally. I'm tired of feeling disappointed when in reality I have everything I need. In fact I have everything I've ever wanted and more. In 2014 I resolve to really know faithfulness, gratefulness, and appreciation for the ups and the downs.

Gotta get this in writing before midnight!

- lose five pounds or so (or even thin out enough to fit into my pants that are snug)
- workout twice a week even of it is only 20 minutes at a time
- try to set a positive example with my eating habits for Minnie (less soda and sweets)
- finish Minnie's baby book
- get pictures in frames and photo books (my perpetual resolution)
- put most of our tax return in savings
- start to think about what is necessary financially in order to expand our family (savings, income, costs etc.)
- change positions within my office

I'm not making resolutions. I won't stick to them, and it sucks to keep failing over and over.

I'd like to keep trying to cultivate friendships in my current town.

I'd like to give less of a shit about what people think about me. I'd even like to "come out" on Facebook as a liberal atheist. I don't know that I will though. I know I'd lose friends, piss off Chad's family. I just don't know.

I'd like to be thinner. I don't want to eat less or better or exercise more, so I'm kinda fucked on that one.

I'd like to be at peace with whatever professional/school decisions I make.

I'd like to really start saving for retirement.

I'd like to go to Europe with my husband for at least 10 days.

You should read One Thousand Gifts if you haven't already. I think it's the most beautiful and moving book I've ever read. It's prose, but poetry, but memoir and you really share her struggle to find gratitude in hard daily family life. I think I need to read it again. It's one of those books I should read each new year.

Looking that up right now. Thank you!

I've already blown it. I was going to try to be less grumpy with my hubby and enjoy time with him more. We took the boys to the movies this morning, then, after throwing up 8 times this afternoon, I repeatedly bit his head off every time he interrupted me . . . which was very very very frequent.

-Try to go to bed with husband so that you don't drink an entire bottle of wine or disobey rule no. 1
-Exercise a LOT
-Stop lecturing the husband on how much you do.
-Stay proactive in continuing to open up professional network.

I resolve not to make any
