Out With the Old, In With the New…

I would like to be able to tell you that in the past year I…

Squeezed myself into size 10 jeans.
Ran a marathon.
Organized my home.
Solved the Global Warming problem.
Reconnected with old friends.
Wrote a book that was published.
Took an exotic vacation.

Instead, I have to tell you that in the past year I…

Can’t even locate any of my smaller size jeans (they are buried in the deep, dark abyss I call my closet).
I manage to get up and down the zillion stairs where I live several times a day without passing out.
Organized my hard drive.
Made new friends.
Write on my blog, so something I write is “published” (ha ha)
Took a couple of “day trips” over the summer.

However, in the past year I also…

Started my blog, She Scribes.
Met some amazing women bloggers.
Started doing product reviews and book reviews which I have so much fun doing.
Made some new friends and learned how very wonderful people can be.
Became much more “environmentally conscious“.
Got a new (used) car.
I have learned that ultimately that our Heavenly Father is in control, and when I let him be, life is better.

In the next year, I am hoping to…

Rediscover the kitchen and the joys of making more healthy home cooked meals.
Eat healthier and attempt to exercise more (mostly walking).
Build a better blog where people enjoy coming to visit daily.
Volunteer more of my time to worthy causes.
Continue develop my relationship with God.

Read more books and those five million magazines that are piling up.
Spend more time playing with my children.
Find ways of “fixing” all that ails me so that I can function better.
Get more organized.
Continue to be more socially and environmentally conscious.
Find those lost jeans in my closet and actually wear them.
Accept myself, forgive myself, and get back up whenever I fall down.
