Not much of a fan of resolutions, I do like to give each year a theme and make a list of goals. {2009 was Simplicity, 2010 was Happiness, 2011 was living Authentically…}
If you’ve been reading here long, it probably won’t surprise you that my theme for 2012 is:
Health
By health, of course, I mean body/spirit/mind/relationships…
After spending an entire week off, with Chw and the girls (granted, Amanda had to work, but I didn’t- which was my point) i’ve been thinking a lot about my goals in the year to come. With one girl heading off for training education and adventure- and another one entering her teens- 2012 is sure to be a WILD ride of a year…
Me and my health:
– Cut back on wheat significantly, if not entirely.
– Be more proactive with my naturopath.
– lose at least one pound per week.
Personal:
– read, at least, one book a month FOR ME…
– spend quiet/personal/devotional time, daily.
– learn new things.
– proceed fearlessly.
– act intentionally, in everything.
Professional:
– Put an ending to Liar, and edit it.
– QUERY!!!
– Attend a Writer’s Conference.
– Be more disciplined about clearly dividing my work-at-home time and my home time.
Financial:
– Pay down debt significantly.
– Increase my contributions.
– Give more, and regularly.
– Spend more thoughtfully/justifiably.
Marital:
– Plan with, dream with, talk with, pray with Chw- weekly.
– Retreat, for a weekend, over both anniversaries. (April and November)
– Conscience, constant efforts to respect him.
As a Mother:
– laugh with.
– pray for.
– once again, educate.
– once again, educate.
– make effort to bridge the distance gaps.
– make the in-present moments matter.
As for hopes, I really hope that 2012 holds-
– a book deal, (of course)!
– a vacation.
– time with all three of my kids, together, in one location.
– 365 days of everyone in my family remaining safe in body, heart and mind.
– less hardship and struggles than the last 3 years have held, for our family and extended family.
– less hardship and struggles than the last 3 years have held, for our family and extended family.
Do you have goals, hopes and plans for the new year?
