I am a goal setting, list making, planner using fool. i love paper products and gel pens more than any person i know. it's more than a love, it's an addiction. i could spend hours choosing one for general conference weekend in target (my go-to journal shop!).
but the truth is. i don't EVER cross of everything on my list. truth is i make lists and forget them. i don't accomplish most of the goals that i set. and my planners have empty weeks in them. regardless, my intention to do good, be better, and stay on top of my game are always there.
i love new beginnings. i love mondays. i love the morning. i love when my house is spotless. i love starting projects. i love opening a new book. i love new years. i love birthdays. i love starting fresh.
but sometimes, i only make it to january 2 without a diet coke. and i often skip the run i planned for and laid my clothes out and set my alarm for. i admit that my lofty saving for disneyland trips plans get foiled by a need for new tires.
2014, so far is the same as 1986-2013 for me when it comes to new years resolutions. i haven't failed though, at any of my goals. i have fallen short. but it's not over. 2014, is going to be one of the best years of my life. i know that because besides 2001, I think every year has been pretty great for me. i am lucky.
in 2014 i wanna.... read more. run more. love more. laugh more. be clean. get organized. blog more. count to ten. smile bigger. wear lip liner. give gifts. teach. learn a lot. get skinnier. buy cute clothes. travel everywhere. write more blog entries. kiss more. cuddle more. walk more. move more. watch less. waste less. hang with les. dejunk. simplify. cherish. finish everything. texas. be loyal.
these are just a few.
but i wanna look back and know i gave it my all.
gave ruby my best mom tricks.
gave nic my most supportive wife.
gave fitz my whole attention.
gave the lord my whole heart.
gave myself a chance to do the hard things.
