Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I thought I'd try to lighten the mood & talk about resolutions. Anyone care to share their's, please post away. I resolve for 2008 to cook from scratch using all-natural ingredients in a healthy way more often than 2007 -- I'm too ashamed to tell you how little that would need to be to beat 2007, so that will stay within the fam, lol I resolve for 2008 to weigh less throughout the year. Part of me would like an ideal weight number, but that's a lot of weight. So, my goal is to be less. In the words of my weight loss counselor, " as long as it takes it will take, " so I resolve to continue that process throughout 2008. Not giving up by January 3rd, but accepting I will have bad days and days I will make bad choices; that does not give me permission to quit and become a full-fledged glutton. I resolve for 2008 to spend more time with The Lord each and every day. I have fallen out of daily fellowship with The Lord and resolve to spend time every day to receive His Word and confess my many sins, as well as pleading before Him my desires, learning to accept His way is not my way, and fellowship with my Maker. I resolve for 2008 to be the best student I can be. I will not create idealistic GPA numbers or assume that I can suddenly become straight A in every subject; rather I resolve to spend more time interested in the subject matter, more time sorting through information my professors deem important, and more time working " as working unto The Lord. " I resolve for 2008 to be a better example to my kids, and a better wife to my husband. I will not create a false expectation that the house will always be spotless (since it never has) nor will I create such an idealistic vision that I cannot attain. I resolve to find new ways to teach our home organization, to put more emphasis on finishing one project before starting another, and buying less and throwing out even more that we do not use. I need to understand no matter how much I may at times resent the role of " helpmate " when I feel the need for help so often, it is nonetheless my role and rather than casting stones as to what my family could/should/would to for me, I should look inward for what I can/shall/will do to fulfill my role for my family. Through looking inward and fulfilling my role, I will set the example for my children and husband, and move our family toward greater contentment.
