I'm Back!!!!

With the New Year comes new resolutions.  I hate to fall into the cliche, but I do have some goals.  And I learned in a Young Women's lesson a couple of weeks ago (I teach Mia Maids and Laurels) that goals should be written down.  So here it goes:

• Keep up with this blog.  My last post was in October?  Ouch!
• Get back on my regular exercise schedule.  Believe or not, I have slipped since October.  Life was either busy or full of illness or both.  And it got easy to find excuses.  I was still better than most, but not up to my standards.  And along with that...
• Get to my goal weight.  I was oh-so-close in October, but I have gained some back since then.  It's time to "Get 'er done!"
• Speak to Nathan in his love language.  I tend to get caught up in how he doesn't speak in mine and forget it works both ways.
• Pray.  Sadly I have fallen a long way in that regard.  Need to make a course correction.
• Read scriptures.  I have never been very good at that.  Here's to a New Year and renewed commitment!
• Go to the temple once a quarter.  Once a month would be better, of course.  I'm hoping to work my way towards that.  
• Get food storage going.
• Set a budget with Germany as a goal and stick to it.
• Start planning my YW lessons 2 weeks ahead so I have time to pray and prepare.
• Spend less time reading internet forums and more time reading books.  I love books.  Why is it that I have forgotten that I love books?
• Stop being a chicken and start interpreting in church.  Perhaps I will be getting a new calling soon and be forced into it...???
• Become more politically involved.  I talk a big game.  I do practically nothing.

At the moment, that is all I can think of.  I won't be surprised if more come up later.  Good luck with your resolutions, whether they are written down or just thoughts floating around!  I love new beginnings and the opportunity to improve oneself.  It is a great time of year.  :)
