One thing I have always liked about the start of a new year is the ability to start fresh. Being able to put the past year, worries, cares and regrets behind us while pushing forward toward bigger and better things, a clean slate, a New Beginning!
This year, it is my personal goal or 'resolution' to 'Pray More, Forgive More, Serve More, Live More, Laugh More, & Love More'
Even if I only accomplish half of this list, I am sure that myself and those closest to me will benefit.
My hope for this year is that I will learn how to create an even balance between work & home without burning myself out, without nagging at my husband, without feeling completely defeated and tired all the time. Maybe I need to lessen my expectations of myself and those around me and start to make realistic ones that aren't as demanding. If I can do this and make everyone a bit happier...it will be well worth the effort!
Yes, the beginning of a new year is a great time to reflect and start afresh with new goals and accomplishments. But like you say not to put them out of reach to attain. I like what you mentioned about an even balance. Realistic is the key. My personal goals are alot the same. I like the picture of the sand of beginning a new year and it also reminds me of our Trip to Cuba when we wrote in the sand...maybe we'll do that again :) I always enjoy your posts. Great Blog!!
