the hope of a new year

Last year I thought New Years Resolutions were cheesy. Oh ya, I got on that bandwagon. But, I’ve since jumped off. In fact, this year I feel as though there is something really magical about the New Year. It’s this feeling of hope that things can and will be different. It’s a fresh start. A blank slate. And it’s bringing about a little bit of excitement. I actually think I like the idea of resolutions.
Now I know reading my own resolutions may not be all that interesting to you, but since this is my blog, and I tend to go back and read what I’ve written….I’m writing it all out in hopes that I will actually follow through.
Here’s (in no random order) what I hope to accomplish in 2009:

1. Feed my children some semblance of healthy semi cooked food for dinner. 

2. Read my bible every single day, either before bed or first thing in the morning….or for extra credit, both! 3. Duh, lose and keep 10 pounds off. 4. Not obsess about my body. Instead focus on being healthy rather than being thin. (Thanks Maegan) 5. Have one night out alone each month with my husband. 6. Read one book a month. 7. Teach Taylor to read. 8. Learn and use the techniques to beat anxiety.

Okay, now I’m off for a little outpatient surgery! Anesthesia + pain meds = Fun times. I’m telling you, I know how to bring in the New Year!
Happy New Year!
P.S. I am feeling MUCH better. Whew. Although awful, it was short lived. Thank you again for all your love, encouragement and prayers!
