i’ve never been a fan of making new year’s resolutions mainly because i watched my parents make them and break them every year. why set yourself up for failure?

Every year the page of our life as a mom turns a new leaf. It’s actually a mixed emotion for me. Every New Year is a time for me to look back and see what I did with my life the previous year. Questions come up; have I done my best? Are my kids growing up the way they should be? Have I kept them healthy? How am I as a mother? The questions can go on and on and on. I try to take some time to write in my journal every day. It seems like any time of year (New Years, or mid-July) if I’m honest with myself, most entries turn into resolutions.

if i’ve got a new year’s resolution lol we all know i am super awesome and don’t need to change a dang thing! haha but seriously, i try to work on myself daily and reevaluate where i’m at in my life each month. M and the gene pool were insistent that we set resolutions for the year. i typed them up, printed them and posted them on the fridge. hopefully the gene pool will stick to their goals and follow through. did anyone else out there set goals/resolutions? do you normally do this and do you stick to them?

Not being able to keep our resolution should not stop us from making them.  They don’t have to be this month. They can be next month, or in November.  Some of us almost feel allergic to change. But no matter what we do, change is going to come, and we’ll want to be constantly watching to make sure that change is what we want.
