January 2012

No January Blahs....Just Ahs!!!!! for me.

In a word GRATEFUL!!!

2011 was challenging but bless.ed

I loved every single moment.

As I wrap up my posts for 2011 I'm reminded of what really mattered to

me and how much I love Heavenly Father.

I can't say blessings without

 acknowledging whom all blessings came from.

 Now as I go forward with 2012

I look forward to the New Year.

I've decided to not focus on goals that I'm not going to keep,

but rather on some things that I am going to work on.

1. I will focus on what is sufficient for my needs.

A home, food, clothing, exercise

and daily scripture study and enough

bounty to share with others.

(time to get rid of excess)

Things that bring me joy or beauty or have

significant meaning to me

 and my family are exceptions to the rule.

2. Forgive everyone. This is a hard one.

But if it's a goal and I'm seeking to be better, it will come.

3. Stop expecting..

If I have no expectations I can't be disappointed.

If my family, friends or myself aren't where I want them to be

 I will love and pray for help. People disappoint.

I disappoint. I will try harder!!!!!!

4. Enjoy life, and do what I love more..

Spend quality time with my family.

With Individuals, more one on one time.

5. Write my history.

I want to finish this. It's begun, now just keep on going

and enjoy the time to reflect on my beautiful and blessed life.

Contentment and gratitude...

A good start to 2012
