A New Year!!

Happy New Year!  It's always wonderful to be given another day, another year.  It's a great time to refocus and set new goals.  I read a saying a friend posted on Facebook and loved it so I will share.  It said:

Need a New Year's Resolution?
Imagine what you want your kids to be.
Be that.

Very true, isn't it?

Last year my resolution was to volunteer at a new place once a month.  I only partially achieved that goal.  I volunteered six out of the twelve months.  Yes I regret not giving it 100%, but I remind myself that I had some great experiences and did pull double duty some of those months.  Not only do I hope to continue some of those, I hope that I continue to volunteer at new places this year.

However, that's not my resolution for this year.  I have quite a few things to work on, so I will be setting goals, but decided that I need a specific resolution.  The hardest thing I will probably ever have to do is give up pop.  I love my Diet Dew and look forward to it every single morning.  But it needs to stop.  So here goes - I'm giving up pop.  Wish me luck.  :)  I also decided that I needed an easy resolution that would also have a positive impact on my life.  So I am going to say out loud something positive or something that I am thankful for every single morning when I wake up and I'm with Brady.  I believe in the power of positive self talk and am putting it to the test and it's something that I want Brady to learn.  I might need to figure out a way to remind myself of this one.  So here goes!! 

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 2012!!! 

Enjoying the nice weather last week!!
