Resolutions

Since it is New's Years Eve and all, I thought I'd better come up with some resolutions. After last weekend at church though, a couple of mine have changed. It made me think about the viewpoint taken when making, breaking or fulfilling resolutions.

So here are my 2010 resolutions using the acrostic RESOLUTION:

R-read the bible more
I would like to say every day, but I also want to achieve these goals, so more it is.

E-engage and enjoy my kids more
I don't want to miss any more of the little moments that make me so happy.

S-slow down
This is a big one for me. At least one night a week, I want nothing to be on the calendar.

O-obey God
There are many areas I bend the rules where I know better and I want to stop.

L-laugh more, love more
I love to laugh and want to love others better.

U-use my time wisely
This may include quitting facebook, but I need to stop wasting so much time.

T-treat my family better
I want to show my husband the respect I have for him and show my boys how much I love them instead of just telling them.

I-invest in my body
I need to take better care of myself, so each day I want to make sure I have 10 minutes of some sort of exercise.

O-own my boundaries
Part of slowing down is going to be owning the boundaries I set up for myself and learning to say no.

N-no more swearing
This has been a goal each and every year and this year I hope to achieve it.
