Hello 2010. Seems like a weird year to say. And yet we, as a people, have come so far since 1910. Over the last couple weeks I’ve been tossing around resolution-type ideas in my mind. I’ve spent the last quarter of 2009 thinking and learning things about myself. Asking myself some hard questions and trying to answer them honestly.
One thing I learned is that I’m not a (big) dreamer. In fact, I don’t really dream at all, for myself. I think I’m scared of failing–so why make a list of wild ideas that I will never achieve?? Yet, on the other hand, why not give myself something to aim towards? At least toss up some plans/resolutions and post them someplace. Kind of like a dartboard. Then step back, grab the darts, aim and throw. Why not see how close I get to the bull’s eye?
Thankfully, the latter part of my thinking one out. It’s okay to not succeed at everything. It’s also okay to publicize those failures. My readers can learn something from me…or else get huge laughs at my attempts.
The first step in this new thinking was the overall picture of what I want. The word “more” came to mind the other night. I want more this year. More of hubby and our time together. More of our kids. More exercising. Better eating. More money for the essentials. More blogging. More growth spiritually. More sleep. More creativity. More happy memories.
I will definitely have to look back in January 2011 and see how close I was to my target.
