I've been pondering resolutions for the new year. Just small ones, ones that might lead to real, lasting change and an improved life. 2012 offered me some huge opportunities for growth, and while I haven't always met the challenge, I'm inspired to keep trying. Here are some of my goals for 2013:
* Start and maintain a gratitude jar
* Keep a journal in which I document at least one blessing every day
* Keep in better touch with the people I love by taking the time to make the phone calls I've gotten so good at avoiding and sending the emails I consistently put off
* Add more veggies to dinnertime meals
* Take a walk at least 2 times a week in hopes of building up to more as the year goes on
* Help Doran learn how to ride his bike on just 2 wheels
* Read one book a month
* Learn how to juggle
Who knows where making these relatively simple changes will lead? Maybe helping Doran learn how to ride his bike will inspire me to buy a bike and start riding again. Maybe reading regularly again will inspire me to finally go back to school. Maybe keeping in touch with my friends and family will lead me to meet more people and develop more meaningful relationships. If nothing else I hope to feel better.
Best wishes to all of us for a wonderful new year!
