Happy New Years

New Years has never been much of a holiday to me. I've never liked staying up late and partying just isn't my thing. I've also had a hard time with the idea that somehow making a resolution to change on a specific day is going to result in real change. I have yet to keep a resolution. This year will be different though. I have decided to make my resolutions retroactively. After I accomplish something I will decide that it was part of my resolution. So far I picked up all the clothes off my closet floor! Wahoo!!!! I am accomplished!

Some of the things I hope make it on to that list are:
1. put Christ first in my life
2. read my scriptures regularly
3. cook dinner with more than one dish involved
4. be more patient
5. keep my house cleaner
6. fold and put laundry away before it's time to wash again
7. make my craft room usable...again (as soon as I clean it someone uses it and it's buried again).
8. be more thoughtful
9. only buy things I REALLY need
10. play more games with my kids
11. be less judgmental
12. build a better relationship with extended family
13. think before I eat
14. worry less
15. be less negative
16. organize my recipe collection
17. try new foods
18. learn to knit
19. remember peoples birthdays(without Facebook)
20. find happiness in the moment
