Twenty one minutes left in the first day of this, a new year - and just enough time to jot down a few resolutions. No promises that all of these are realistic.
1. Keep a clean house. This is the one my husband will hold me accountable to. He does more than his fair share around here, so this is simply my official promise to deal with the animal hair daily and leave fewer dishes and wet towels in my own wake.
2. Call people back. I am NOTORIOUS for not returning phone calls and texts. And its not because I don't want to, it's because I hardly ever check my cell phone. I just don't - I forget that it's there and hardly ever remember to charge it. But my friends and family think I don't love them, so I need to improve.
3. Watch less, listen more. I'm someone who needs background noise to feel relaxed - and that's probably a whole other potential resolution in itself right there...but, babysteps. The moral of the story: I need to listen to music more and turn the TV on less.
4. Find a church home. A place where my husband and I can go and grow together and in community with others who share our beliefs. Seems like it should be easy, but I find there are almost too many options and while I like having options, sometimes they overwhelm me...
5. Exercise. This one is boring and cliche and the truth is that I'm typing this list rather than heading to our little in-home gym with my husband to work out. He suggested and I had an excuse. Per usual. Oh dear.
6. Love my people. However they need to be loved. And be intentional about figuring out just what that means for each of them. Even if it means that to show them love, I have to watch wrestling.
7. Go to bed at a reasonable hour! Because at 31 I am keenly aware that I am no longer 24.
