New Year Resolutions

HG helped make her lunch tonight. Lets see if she touches anything but the celery, ranch and maybe tomatoes.
BIG box of food. It was full.

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential.

We all make resolutions each year to try and improve some part of us. How many of us actually stick to it?? This year, we are making resolutions as a family rather than individuals. Our life has been crazy and fast paced since New Years 2008 and it is time to slow down.

1. Spend more time with family and close friends

2. Pay down Debt. In 2007, we had no debt. None other than cars. While we aren't snowed in completely, there is always room for improvement.

3. Healthier foods and worry less about weight.

4. Date nights. Easy to forget with a precious toddler.

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.

~G. K. Chesterton

Cheers to an exciting 2011!!
