I am not big on new year's resolutions - I mean come on, Dec 31st you have no will power and suddenly on Jan 1 you do?? However, I get that the whole concept of 'new years resolutions' is purely symbolic. The start of the new year gives people a tangible fresh start. So with that said here is what I hope for in the new year...
LIVE
I need to learn to really live life to it's fullest. Grab the bull by the horns. Seize the day. Etc etc. I spend so much of my life planning and thinking through the consequences that I miss the opportunities to just live. I need to learn that I don't ALWAYS have to be responsible and do the 'right thing'. Part of life is taking risks and making mistakes.
LAUGH
I can't really tell you the last time I had FUN. Isn't that sad? I have a beautiful, hilarious, and amazing daughter - I should be having fun every day! I hope to find something to smile and laugh about every single day this year and every year that follows.
LOVE
If 2010 taught me anything it's that romantic love does not exist. But there are many other kinds of love that do exist. The love I have for Ava is mind-blowing. Also there is the love I have towards family and friends. What I need to start recognizing is the love of Christ. I hope that I can really grasp how much God loves me. Cause all those times when I feel alone, rejected, unwanted, God is right there whispering "I will always love you. I will never leave you or forsake you." Wow...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
those are great resolutions, katie! i hope this new year is blessed for you!
