I know y'all were chomping at the bit to see what my goals are :) Admit it!!!
First though....Some reflections. (Patience, people!)
It truely is amazing what a difference a year makes. This year, I started a lifelong journey with the man I love. Wyatt gained a father who loves him without reserve. I've learned to look inside more for answers rather than depending on others. I became a homeowner!! I became anti-HOA. I've learned to value great friendships, despite differences. I've found out who some of my friends really were. I had to re-think myself. I went from being a dedicated EMT to being a Stay at Home Mom. A job with endless rewards, certainly, but an often thankless one. I found out what it's like to be the patient for once...and also realized how very much my husband loves me in the process. Routine procedures are never routine when it's yourself or your family...a valuable lesson I will take with me if I go back to work. Some people will drop what they are doing to come to your aid...and, no matter what differences you and that person have, that person is a life long friend and should be cherished. I've discovered and re-discovered my Faith. I learned that some people have endless amounts of love inside of them, and no matter how many animals you get, only a child will make you feel as though that love is being given to the right person. Everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know what that reason is for a long time. I have to remember that. I'm still realizing that there is no mold that we have to fit into. I can be a Christian woman and still fit in with my old friends. I've realized that sparkle often hides defects...Character is what counts.
I know that all seems jumbled. As I thought it, I typed it.
My goals for 2010
Lose some of this weight.
Spend less time on the computer and more time with my son
Maintain a budget
Work on my homemakers notebook
Embrace being a homemaker.
Start homesteading (Start small...some egg hens)
Respect my husband and all he does more than I do now
Accept whatever my body has in store for me, and realize there is more than one way to love a child.
Practice patience!!!
Cook from scratch more often (This also falls under homesteading and budgeting)
Grow my own tomatoes
Lose some of this weight. Me too! Check out the post I made today on my blog.
ReplyDeleteSpend less time on the computer and more time with my son. Let me know how you manage this one! I gave him JumpStart Preschool for Christmas so that he can play at the computer too. But I want he and I to spend good one on one time together every day too.
Maintain a budget. We have to update ours for the new year.
Work on my homemakers notebook. Mine will be more of a daily calendar/to do list, but may grow into that.
Embrace being a homemaker. Yeah, what DOES that mean, anyway? ;-)
Start homesteading (Start small...some egg hens). Take the next step, grow a garden to feed us AND the animals.
Respect my husband and all he does more than I do now. How will you do this? I don’t think I show it to him enough.
Accept whatever my body has in store for me, and realize there is more than one way to love a child. Like foster care and adoption?
Practice patience!!! Hahahahahaha! I try so hard!
Cook from scratch more often (This also falls under homesteading and budgeting) Me too-started a few months ago and boy do we have more dirty dishes now!
Grow my own tomatoes, ditto.
