New Year's Resolutions

I had a long, rambly, wordy post written that discusses all of my resolutions for the coming year. All of my hopes, my dreams, my goals, and the many aspects of my life that I can't control that they all hinge upon.

Then I went back and read my New Year's post from last year and realized how little my life has changed from this time last year.

Sure, I could whine about wanting to lose weight, or wanting more time to read books, or my desire to become a runner. But droning on about it here isn't going to make those things happen.

If there is one thing I want to resolve to do in the coming year it is to appreciate what I have. I am lucky and I have more than anyone could ever hope for -- a loving family, a beautiful little boy, a doting husband, a warm and inviting home.

I challenge you, this year, instead of focusing on all of the aspects of your life you'd like to change -- to instead, focus all of the wonderful aspects of your life that you wouldn't change for the world. To focus more on why life is good instead of focusing on what you would like to see change. As I have learned this year, changes occur at their own pace and sometimes there isn't much you can do to spur them forward.

I resolve to live in the present and enjoy today more.
