I am officially back to blogging after a whirlwind of holidays, trips and stomach flu. All of it was wonderful, minus the stomach flu of course. Watching your 3 year old vomit all night is, well, heart wrenching and exhausting!
Now back to the point of this post---I'm not big on resolutions, because I tend not to stick to them. However I have decided to make a list of things that I would like to do this year. This list has been written with the expectation that not everything on the list will be accomplished. It is a guideline I have made for myself to keep my goal on track. Here it is:
Now back to the point of this post---I'm not big on resolutions, because I tend not to stick to them. However I have decided to make a list of things that I would like to do this year. This list has been written with the expectation that not everything on the list will be accomplished. It is a guideline I have made for myself to keep my goal on track. Here it is:
- Learn to sew- I have watched friends and family make these beautiful creations and mend clothes like it's nothing; it's time I learned how to do the same!
- Plant a garden- At least plant some flowers in 3 big planters outside, and not kill them right away.
- Get my master's in occupational therapy and pass the national boards- Only 6 more months until I am cleared for graduation. YAY!
- Have a part-time job
- Run a 10K- Running is something I am not crazy about. I'm convinced that once I start doing it for real, I won't mind it though.
- Learn to knit- This goes with sewing, it's one of things that I should be able to do.
- Read more books- I am currently working on a list of books that I'd like to read that apply to many different areas of my life.
- Make clay ornaments for Jesse tree in time for next year- This was a project I got started on this year, and only got about half way though. I love the tradition of the Jesse tree and think it would help my family to grow in our understanding of the lineage of Christ.
- Blog more- I love blogging! My goal is between 3-4 times per week.
- Intentionally pray once a day
- Save money for a down payment for a house- A decent house around us cost at least $160,000, but more likely around $200,000-$215,000. My dream home has at least 4 bedrooms (for lots of kids eventually) and an enormous backyard. I'd like to save close to half the amount for a down payment. My husband, I'm sure, would tell you that it is an impossible goal. My hopes are still high!
What are your resolutions or hopes for 2013?
