The New Year is only 2 weeks away?
Wow! Time to start that resolution list!
But this year, I want to make on that actually is attainable. One that I might adhere to through out the year. One that not only will make my life better, but also those that I love around me. I also want my resolutions to help me achieve some dreams I have, some aspirations I desire, and that will help me create new possibilities.
In parenting, and I could go on for days about this – stop yelling, be more patient, spend more quality time with my kids and so on. But, instead, I think I will work this year on becoming my children’s hero. Not only do I want them to listen to me and respect me, I really want them to admire me. To look up to me for my kindness, my sensitivity, and my selflessness. I want to be the woman they want to be when they grow up. Instead of the woman they hope they are never like!
I don’t know how I will go about becoming their hero. I suppose I will just have to be kinder, be more sensitive to them and others, and be more selfless in my actions and thoughts!
In my marriage, I want to find my husband again. I want to dig through the pile of busy and find that cave of peace, togetherness, and love. I know it is there, I see the light every once in a while escaping from it’s crevice. I just have to make the time to be more aware that he is here too.
As for my blog, I want to continue to remain honest, straight forward, and somewhat funny. I like that there are mother’s out there that can relate to me and I know that there are more I want to reach. The best friend of a mother, after all, is another mother. By remaining true to my self and my readers, I hope to create more opportunities to network with other bloggers, products, and guests.
Whatever 2011 brings, I want it to be better than 2010. Though it was a fantastic year, there was too much self doubt, self indulgence, and self hatred. I aim to improve that in strides and pray that the Lord is there to guide me as I go.
