New Year's Resolutions...

So I said I would post my resolutions for this year soon the other day.... so its that time of the year. First I have some food for thought...

What do you think about this time of year? Do you make resolutions? Do you attempt to keep them beyond the first week? Do you forget all about them if you dont write them down and post them?

I tend to make them myself but then never write them down and never remember them. I noticed last year I wrote them down and I made a better attempt at keeping them. So I am asking you to write yours down too. This way you will have a way to remember this year and how you did try to keep them.

My resolutions this year are so hard for me and I want to really attempt to meet them this time.

My Resolutions:

1. Tell my family I love them everyday.

2. I want to be more loving toward them and try to reign in my temper.

3. Read the Book of Mormon cover to cover (that is what we are studying this year right???)

4. I want and will lose weight this year. I want to lose 50 lbs minimum this year.

These are my goals what are yours?

So here we are ...

2 days after Christmas and 4 days from the New year. Lots to think about and ponder. Was this year a good Christmas? What did I do wrong? How can I correct it next year? What are the new years resolutions? Did I even meet my resolutions from this past year? Lots of thoughts running through my mind this year.

So I just looked up my New Years Resolutions from this past year....

1. actually know the lessons in RS and SS AHEAD of time this year.
2. no excuses (unless of course I am in the hospital) go to church.
3. keep a neater house and happier family
4. lose weight.

Okay ummm well I tried!

1. I did study some of the SS lessons well 1/2 of them ... I got to about June or so....
RS I never did get the calendar telling us where we were so nope never happened.

2. Well I went from zero attendance to probably 50% attendance. Lots of sickness this year. While we may not have been in hospital we were sick quite a bit. Anyways from inactive to 50% is good. This year hope to make that number higher.

3. I forgot about this one totally so I dont think I did so hot at it.

4. I did lose 8 lbs.... not so much to lose but hey I did lose weight. HAHAHA

Anyways I guess I am going to pray and ponder over my new new years resolutions for a few days. I will post them and I think I will have to resurect them monthly so I can see them every time I come on so I am constantly reminded.

How about you readers how did you do with your resolutions this year?
