2012 proved to be a bit more calm than the previous 2 years. A change we welcomed with open arms. Having baby number #2 turn into a very mobile little guy, moving to a new house and truly transitioning into being a SAHM still made it a busy and memorable year. God has been working on my heart in many ways and teaching me a lot about myself. At times this year was challenging; but the wonderful moments outweighed the hard ones by far!
In my determination to embrace my new phase of life, getting older and having little kids running around the house, I'm going to start my New Year off a little differently.
I love to write New Year's Resolutions!! Love, love to.
Lose 15 pounds.
Read 1 book a month.
Exercise 4 times a week.
Scrapbook Lily's first 5 years.
Do this. Do that. You get the picture.
All these things that I think will make my life better (and some of them would) are things I have never done!!!!! I absolutely love to write the lists, but rarely follow through. So I'm throwing the list out. I'm crumpling it up and scoring two points in the trash can. This year my New Year's Resolution is simply this...................................
Find
My Happy Place
There
will be some list making I'm sure. It's what I'm putting on those
lists that will change.
What
is truly going to make me and my family happy? And by happy, I mean
content. It may not be what I've thought in the past. And I'm okay
with that. I want to find out what it will take to get to that place
of contentment I know the Lord desires for me. That I desire for me.
I've
been thinking and praying a lot about this idea of contentment lately
and I'm planning on lots of blog posts in the future on this very
subject.
Though,
I'm very excited to start the New Year, I'm equally excited to
reflect on the past year and all the wonderful, silly, special, and
happy moments God gave to our family. Thank you, 2012, for the great year. I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store!
