I don't like resolutions. I'm usually good for a week or so, and then I fall of the wagon and feel bad about myself. In an effort to avoid all that madness this year, I'm not making a single one. I am, however, going to make a conscious effort to become my best self; someone I like better than the person I am now.
- I want to be a better Saint, a better wife, daughter, sister and friend.
- I want to attend the temple more with my husband. Not too long ago, we were going every week. What happened?
- I want to learn to organize my home WITHOUT spending a fortune at Ikea.
- I want to start exercising and eating better, not to lose weight, but simply to feel healthier.
- I want to not beat myself up when I decide to have a cookie, rather than a piece of fruit.
- I want to get better at crochet.
- I want to be more self-reliant.
I intend on starting out small. Maybe my list should look something more like this:
- Attend the temple once a month as a patron.
- Put items in their proper room (at least!)
- Walk the dog around the block, not just to her favorite spot.
- If you want a cookie, have a cookie. Not 6.
- Find someone who can show you how to count your stitches so you end up with a rectangle-shaped blanket, not a flat-topped pyramid.
- Consider putting in some hours at the Bishop's Storehouse, or bite the bullet and become a Shelf Reliance consultant.
If you have any ideas for me, feel free. I am currently on my sixth day of service to others, and I could use some ideas for that as well!
