Resolutions

i love the fresh start feeling of a new year.

2012 was sure one for the books in our household.

i am overwhelmed how much nick and i have been blessed.

thinking back on all of our blessings of the past years,

makes me want to improve myself even more.

i have ::always:: been one for new resolutions.

i have taken way to long trying to come up with some,

and i still want to think of a few more.

but... i wanted to post a few to make me feel more committed to them.

here it goes.

[stop] comparing myself to others.

              this one is definitely #1 on my list

              it is something i know will make me SO much happier.

              I am still working on thinking of the ways I want to accomplish this but here are a few

1. Pray more sincerely/recognize my many blessings

2. staying busy/accomplishing simple everyday goals

3. limiting my time on social media

4. serving others

*I realize that is about a dozen goals wrapped into one, but I really am trying to focus on that. My life is pretty much the BEST... I don't know why I get caught up in comparing...but it is about to stop for me! 

[journal] every day.

              doing this will help me recognize the lord's hand in my life more easily

              and i know it is just important to do.

[read] the entire ensign every  month

              i don't always take advantage of the awesome messages

              and modern day revelation that the ensign contains.

               but... i will this year!

              

[work out] 3 times a week

              kind of a given

              i figure 3 days is WAY reasonable

              and any more days I do than that I will feel awesome about!

Those are some of my resolutions. 

i figure it is a pretty good start

and i am still going strong.

i am so excited to see what the new year brings! happy new year :)
