Spreading the Love

I've never been one for New Years Eve Resolutions. I figure I'm just going to depress myself when I inevitably break them. Two weeks later.

And really, who wants to set themselves up to need Xanax? Anyone? Anyone? ;)

(Love this picture. This girls is always smiling!)

This year, with all that's going on in our lives, Jet and I decided to attack the year in three month increments, making a list of a few big goals that we plan on focusing on until March. (specific things that will help position us to follow where we feel the Lord is leading)

Come April, we have a whole other "Get 'er done" list.

For me, that's just easier for my highly distractible brain to cope with. Not to mention a way to keep my waning motivation up, as I tend to be an All-or-Nothing person...

For those of you that aren't familiar with that lovely little quality, allow me to define it for you, mkay? It's the maddening urge to do things "right"... until I happen to have a small set back. (Say, if I'm trying to eat healthy and, in a moment of weakness, I eat a brownie.)

Then my brain says, "Eh. What the heck. I've already screwed up, why bother trying now? Please pass the trough plate of brownies, will ya?"

I'd say that sums it up nicely. Wouldn't you other "All or Nothing" people agree? ;)

Anyway.

On a personal level, I do have a few things that I would like to change. But not under the guise of a resolution based on the calendar year. But just because I'm at a place where I really feel like I need to find myself again...

More to come.
