Month: December 2011

I intend to actually write about each item… but here is the list.

1. Be a better follower of Christ
2. Be a better wife and mother
3. Be a healthier and better me

Yes, there is a lot of explanation to come and yes, they are quite objective.

Christmas was great fun around the Griffin Home.  We had so much fun with our kids, and were surrounded with family and friend.  How much better could it get? —well someone else could have done all the cooking and cleaning, but otherwise, it was pretty darn great! 

 

I am not a big resolution writer.  Resolutions are so often just lofty ideals of things we may never be.  Sure, I could resolve to lose 120 pounds and be a size 3, but short of having a body-ectomy It isn’t happening any year.

I like Goals. I like things to shoot for.  I don’t really like a scads of black and white things that I probably can’t achieve even when I line all my ducks up and a very good girl.  So often, I don’t publicize my goals because of fear of failure.  I don’t like failure in the first place, so why would I tell all you people (the two of who that read my drivel) and potentially fail right before your eyes.

The other thing I like is LISTS. I love lists.  I love lists BECAUSE they are black and white.  I know, sounds completely contradictory of my previous thoughts, but lists are great.  I like to check things off lists.  I like to see a list of what I accomplished.  I like the validation of my accomplishment.

In an effort to achieve SOME accountability, I am going to write a list of my GOALS for the new year.  Yes, I am going to write them out, and make them public, and see what happens.  Some are nearly cliche, but hey, I will list them anyway.

My poor blog…

I really love to blog, and I love to write in general. Yes, I lack time and energy so much of the time.  I want to get back in the swing of things.  I want to post, and I want to be…. well… whatever it is that I am here on my blog.

It is the day after Christmas, and the new year is looming.  So many thoughts race through my head as to what I expect from the new year.  I would like to put in on paper or screen, should I say.  I am hearby committing to actually attempt to blog.

That sounds like commitment, eh?
