A new year. I have never been one to make New Years resolutions. Mostly because the occasional times that I do, I end up being disappointed in myself. I guess I'm not good at making goals is what it comes down to. But....I would like to be. So, I guess this New Year I am just going to say that I would like to be better. In many things. So many things. But in an effort not to bore you with all the things that I feel as though I am a failure at, I will stick to one thing that I would like to be better at. Journal writing. I think journals can be fascinating. What an incredible thing it is to be able to write your thoughts down and share memories with those who may read it years later. I just want to be able to write down a few things a day, or memories of things we do as a family. I want my kids to know how I feel about life. About being a Mom. About how much I adore them. So......summing it all up, my New Years resolution for 2011 is to keep a journal. I would like to try this blogging thing out more. I like the idea of attaching pictures to memories. However, as soon as Stephen goes back to school, I may not have access to a computer every day or as much as I would like, so I do have an actual pen and paper journal that I will keep when I can't get on a computer. And I'm not going to say that I will write every day either. Because I don't want to disappoint myself. I will try to write a thought every day, but really, the goal is just to be better. And since my journal writing is pretty much nil right now, ANYthing will be better!
Well, that is the plan. Now, I must get to bed. Church changes to 9am tomorrow. I have been looking forward to it since we moved here. I don't like afternoon church. It takes up the whole day. But now that it is here, I am almost dreading getting up so early tomorrow....uughh. ah well, that is another thing I would like to be better at. Just be happy. Can't change it, why fuss. Get over it and move on......
This is me moving on.....Goodnight. And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
