In With The New

Well another eventful year comes to an end. 

There have been happy times, sad times and some downright frustrating  pull your hair out and scream at the top of your lungs times.

For all of it I am thankful.

I am thankful that I am saved. 

I am thankful I am loved.

I am thankful that I can hug my child.

I am thankful for all of the people in my life.

Even the ones who aren't fond of me or vice versa.

This has also been a year of acceptance for me.

Acceptance that Jeremy and I will not always have the same friends.

Acceptance that not matter how much I want to believe that I don't start all the fights and that I am always right, it's not always the case.

Acceptance that sometimes 'blood' is not always thicker than water.

Acceptance that friendships will shift, change and sometimes end as we grow.

Acceptance that I am imperfect.

Acceptance that I will probably never see those size 5 jeans again but that I can still get healthy and be attractive.

Acceptance that I will fail at times.

Acceptance that no matter how hard I try to please everyone, it will rarely happen.

Acceptance that my heart will ache so bad that I feel like I could die, but won't.

Acceptance that I am an imperfect person.

Acceptance that Kaylee is growing up and she won't always want a kiss in front of her friends and that our snuggles are less and less because she's getting older.

I usually don't make resolutions.

Mostly because I never stick to them.

I do however have goals. 

Six big ones to be exact. 

If you want to consider them resolutions, so be it.

Firstly, I want to improve my relationship with Christ. He after all, is the only one who can bring peace to a troubled heart and mind.

Second, I would love to blog more. I am not an expert in anything and I am certainly not an eloquent writer but I do love doing it.

Third, I want to organize my ENTIRE house. 

I know that this is a big task and that I can't do it alone. It may take me the whole year to get it completely done, but I am pretty determined.

4th,

Get healthy.

This doesn't mean that my goal is weight loss, per say.

I want to eat better for the sake of my family. 

Bike ride for the sake of cardio and keeping my heart healthy.

There are 3 other major health issues going on with my body that I would like to put in the works of making better.

I need glasses so I wold like to obtain some of those as well.

There is a 'career' that I would like to get started. 

I don't want to elaborate to much because I want to tell you all about my plan in a blog all it's own.

I am quite excited about it.

Lastly, I want to love more and love better.

I want to love the way God wants me to love.

Unconditionally.

Especially the people I have the hardest time loving.

This is my hope for my upcoming 2013.

I want to wish you all a Happy New Year full of love and happiness.

If you have these things, everything else is just gravy.

What are your goals, hopes or resolutions for the upcoming year? 

Comment and let me know.
