New Years, New Me

I know its cliche, but it's that time of year when I try and change myself again. I love this time of year, even though at the end of any particular year it seems to finish with the incompleteness of some (ok usually many) of my goals, I still feel good. I feel good because this time of year gives me a new sense of purpose and a new sense of hope. Both of these things are in low supply in my life right now, so it is welcomed with open arms. Why you ask? My life is filled with many amazing things and people and I have loads to be thankful for - this is just me, and I have a hard time finding the happy in it all sometimes.
So - January, here you are and I am ready for you. I am sick of being tired, bored, unfunny, unhappy, etc. I am not all these things all the time, but I don't want to be any or them, ANY OF THE TIME. Weird sentence, just stay with me....
I feel like if I let people read this blog, it will help me be accountable. I have kept this blog quiet because it was really just for me. A place for me to write (which I love and have stopped doing. Again - annoying). A place I wouldn't be judged for what I said or thought. So leave your judgment shoes at the door please:)
With that said, with the first post of the new year I am going to write my New Years Resolutions. That's right, I do them - or at least I set them:) I have high hopes of doing all of them, but it's in the journey and I embrace it.

1. Complete my 3 month supply of food storage by my birthday (May)
2. Read scriptures with my family at least 5 days a week (that's right, we don't do it everyday - this is all about honesty here)
3. Make a yummy/healthy dinner for my family at least 4 nights a week ( I am not much of a cook and I have totally failed my husband and kids...NO MORE:))
4. Write in this blog at least 3 times a week with things that inspire me
5. Lose 10 pounds
6. Be more kind and more forgiving
7. Become silly again
8. Do something kind for someone in need once a week
9. Family Night once a week (this being either FHE or another night with just our family)
10. Make Memories
11. Go to Disneyland with Drew and fall in love all over again:)

So, that is what I have right now. I reserve the right to add some later or alter a bit if I find something works a little better for me. Let the ride begin:)
