I started this post a few days ago and it started to get really long and "deep" and as I wait for old pictures to upload to snapfish so I can make a photo book...I thought I would hop over here and create a short and sweet 2014 letter!
I have been pondering this year and when it comes to goals, a few things stand out to me above all others. Some are for our family and some are just for me! Here are a few of my goals/thoughts/hopes/wishes for 2014, in a very small nutshell:
- Get back into the workout routine! Everyone is happier when this momma gets alone time, exercise, and I start feeling better about myself--win-win!
- More date nights with the husband. 2013 was revolved mostly around adding another precious, sweet human being to our family, and not a lot of alone grown-up time. At all. End of 2013 we were showing an improvement, but Joe and I have decided that is a priority this year.
- More one-on-one time with our "big" kids! They need it, we need it.
- "Guard your heart more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it." -Proverbs 4:23 I saw this Bible verse in one of the daily devotionals I read-actually on January 1st and it has stuck with me. One of my goals this year is to focus on guarding my heart; from impatience, from greed, from envy, from anger, from gossip, etc. and being content in all circumstances. I think I am pretty good about these things most of the time and I like to think I am a very grateful person who is truly content with the quiet little life that we have been blessed with. However, I am human and those icky feelings creep in from time-to-time, so this is something I want to work on.
