A New Year

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ~Benjamin Franklin

Ah, a new year is about to begin, it's time to put the past away and begin anew.

Don't we all have good intentions as the new year begins?  We promise ourselves to lose some weight, exercise more, eat healthier, quit smoking, etc, etc.... but rarely do we keep those promises.

Well meant intentions; not so good will power.

I am so guilty of this.

Yet, here I am making promises to myself.  And I have every intention of keeping them. 

And you readers will be my accountability partners!  Ha! 

Okay, so here are my resolutions for 2011:

1.  I will walk at least 3 times per week for a full hour (hubby is joining me in this).

2.  I am giving up coffee (another joint resolution with hubby).

3.  I will read every day from God's Word, with hopes of reading through the entire bible in one year.

4.  I will worry less.

5.  I will love more.

6.  I will daily count my blessings.

That's enough I think.  Very manageable.

I am looking forward to the new year and the opportunities that await me and mine.  I pray that you also are looking forward to the new year and all the possibilities it holds.

May God bless you all abundantly and may you feel the love that I am sending your way.
