Reflections

Something about the beginning of a new year makes you reflect on the old year and evaluate what you want to differently in the new year. I guess that's why so many people make new year resolutions, huh?
I am thankful for many things. And so undeserving of so many of the blessings in my life. I want to be more "aware" of my blessings this year. Sometimes we all tend to coast through life and take so many things for granted. I want my loved ones to really know how much I love them and treasure them in life. I want to be a better wife, mother, Nana, sister, friend, employee, supervisor, etc. I have room to improve in all areas. I want to be a better follower and disciple of Christ. I want to build up instead of tearing down. I want to be an encourager and the voice of reason. I want to be positive instead of negative - even when negative is so much easier. I want to eat healthier and exercise more and encourage Danny to do the same. I want to drink more water and less soft drinks. I want to web-cam or write letters more to my five precious grandkids in Rhode Island. I want to make an effort to see Aidan more who lives right here in Headland. I want to spend more time with mother and cheer her up everyday. I want to read my Bible and pray more b/c I want to not because I should. I want to get more comfortable with learning new things. Like blogging, facebooking and downloading pictures on the computer.
Let's see. Did I leave anything out? I don't think so . I want to thank God for my blessings and I want to let my loved ones know how much they mean to me each day. I want to have a positive attitude and learn new things and greet each day with anticipation of the blessings I will receive and can share with others. I think that about covers it....
Happy New Year!
