New Year Resolutions

Have you made a New Years resolution? I haven't formally but I've been thinking about it. Top of my list should be to stop procrastinating! Of course, I would also have the perpetual resolution to lose weight. Oh, and how about putting myself back on the list; can't forget that one. Seriously though, I feel the need or pressure rather to make a list. A list of things I will resolve myself to do this year. Here's a few I came up with....

1. Read more books and less Facebook!
2. Hold my children in my lap more and my laptop less.
3. Be grateful for the healthy body God has provided me and take better care of it and be less critical of it.
4. Memorize more of God's word. I have favorite scripture but can rarely quote it. Even my attempts to paraphrase are weak.
5. Declutter my house....another perpetual resolution but one I'm serious about.
6. Have more appreciation and less of a sense of entitlement.

Did I forget anything? What are your resolutions or did you resolve not to make any stupid resolutions?!

Starting anew,
Anne Marie
