Well, December came and went. But you wouldn't have known that from keeping up with my blog. It's not that there hasn't been anything to write about. It's been a busy month. A fabulously busy month. I just haven't felt like putting pen to paper, err, fingertips to keys. You know what I mean.
December brought family and Christmas and a trip to the mountains with friends. December brought presents and a bunch of new toys to our house. December brought an abundance of love and laughter. December was filled with joy. I hope the same is true for your December.
And now here we are in 2013. (Thankfully those doomsday preppers were wrong and we didn't all disappear into the abyss on December 21, 2012.) It's a new year. And you know how I love a new year. With it's clean slate and fresh start. Call me cheesy, but I love it.
As always on January 1st I set my intentions for the year. Some are the same as prior years, but others are different. I'm excited about them all, even though I was watching the news last night and some "expert" said you should only make one resolution a year, otherwise your odds of failure are great. I'd already made my 6 resolutions, so I think I'll keep them all.
So here's my plan for 2013:
1. Put $2000 into our savings each month (this will require that we rein in our wayward spending).
2. Eat good food at home - stop eating out so often and PLAN all meals.
3. Walk 10,000 steps per day. A certain Christmas present I got is helping me with this one...
4. Be patient in parenting. Especially during the bedtime routine.
5. Think before speaking. Watch my tone.
6. Bring more God/religion/spirituality into our family.
Wish me luck! What are your intentions or resolutions for the new year? Or are you the kind of person who detests resolutions and thinks I'm a sucker for always making them?
