i heard on the radio this morning that writing down your goals and having people keep you accountable makes your odds of sticking with New Years resolutions better. well, since i will take all the accountability i can, I POST!
so here they go...in no specific order....
1... talk less. listen more! simple as that.
2... chill out when driving! especially with people that make complete stops when they don't need to, drive 30 when the speed limit is 50, and TAILGATE!! (i have a real problem with this cuz i'm usually the one doing the tailgating....heaven forbid people do it to me!) i also need to keep in check how i talk to fellow drivers since they can't hear me anyways. my children on the other hand, DO!! when your 7 year old is yelling at the person in front of you, saying "SOMETIME TODAY WOULD BE NICE", is not a good example. geez, they MUST have heard that from daddy. :)
3...get off my 'bee-hive' and exercise! plain and simple!
4... cut back on my 5 cans of diet coke a day. (ha, i switched to diet dr. pepper!)
5... take more time to let those around me know that i value them. i am blessed beyond what i deserve.
6... savor the little moments. play football,let them beat me in monoploy (which isn't hard), and have star wars light-saber sword fights with my kids. they are growing up too fast. if i wait too long, i'll be asking them to play and they'll be too busy.
7... be less particular about how clean my house is. if i die tomorrow, will my kids know they were loved and listened to OR will they remember how clean the house was? it's a no brainer.
8...forgive more.
9...get organized. pictures...game closet....the garage (again)....our office....and in all this, remember #7. keep a good balance.
10... the final, and most important one. become a woman who lives and breaths my faith. in everything, consult God's ways first. strive to be better and more diligent in my knowledge of HIM. do EVERYTHING with that in mind. teach my children that nothing else in this world is more important than that!
there you have it folks. i have no excuses now because it's OUT THERE for you to hold me to! in this new year,strive for goals that really make a difference in this life and most important, the next.
know you are loved!

I like your resolutions :D
Had to laugh about your driving confessions...with empathy! My kids have suggested I get a license plate that says "Move it or lose it!" MVITRLSIT, I guess! (It's too long which has spared me the receipt of this as a personalized gift!)
Love the resolutions! I'll try to keep you accountable, if you promise to do the same!
Thanks for making a list of resolutions for me too!! Excellent!
