I have shared before how much I love a new month, a new calendar, a flip of the page and a fresh start !
I am thankful for Gods amazing grace because He truly does make all things new
No matter how far we go in the wrong direction it is always just one step back in the right direction
And I am always mindful of His grace and forgiveness to us and a chance again and again for a new beginning
I am not a resolution person !
As I sit here...
I'm in jammies although it is only 5 pm. It was a long day and I was so cold so I climbed into my flannels and am happy as a clam.I am drinking a Bargs diet root beer with lots of ice and a straw
I should resolve to not drink diet soda and not to eat sugar although I must have had at least ten "King Leo" soft mints that were in my purse while I was out running errands today
But its ok....
I am not only going to give grace to others but I am going to give it to myself as well.
I made a note on my iphone titled
" Twenty Fourteen"
And I have been jotting down ideas and goals for this new year
I have areas in my life that I truly want to work on
But I know I will fail....
And I am going to let myself and other people down
But my heart is right and my motive is to be better and have more days that I can look back and see improvement
Here are some of my ideas that I jotted down~
Find more time for reading { I LOVE to read and often do not carve out enough time}
Give away more...Simplify my life and house { this has been fun! I hate to throw things away so I have been taking things to work and posting a note saying if you can use this please take it! And I swear at the end of my shift its gone! Cookbooks, candles, purses, candy, you name it ! People seem to love my stuff and it is way more fun that trying to sell it for a few dollars}
Send Sara more mail { she LOVES mail like her auntie and I am going to send more cards and notes. Such a small thing that brings her such joy }
Walk the meadow three times a week with Brody { we both love it so much and it's so good for us }
No cell phone while in public! { no checking it while with people at lunch. I have been guilty of the thing I truly resent, so time to put myself on check and keep it away }
Pay off all debt! { almost there but determined to wipe it all out this year! }
I saw this graphic on a blog somewhere and forgive me for not giving credit but I truly cant remember where it was. It was a few months ago and it struck a cord!
I am going to simply BE , spend more of my time content to simply BE
I can often be a spazz, and get wound up with plans and packing more than I should into my days to give them "meaning" But this year I am going to try to be more still
To Be Simple and Simply Be !
What are your dreams this year? I would love to know! I will be praying they come true for you!
And if they dont ...I will be praying you will be ok with it
Walk in Grace and give yourself a little slack
Swing on the swings, have a donut, stay up late watching movies, let the dust be
Life goes way too fast !
