As I start this new year, I've been thinking about my priorities and what goals I plan to pursue this year. I've basically categorized my priorities into 4 parts:
Spiritual, Family/Social, Educational and Personal
I've set some goals to help me grow in each of these categories this year. Since they say that a goal is only a wish until you write it down and that sharing a goal with another person makes it more likely that you will achieve that goal, I'm going to write my goals down here in my blog and share them with you.
Spiritual:
Say a personal prayer at least once every day
Read the scriptures for at least 10 minutes every day (I hope to finish the Book of Mormon and then read The New Testament after that)
Family/Social:
Maintain a family Budget and live within our means, saving for college and future expenses
Hold Family Home Evening once a week
Spend one on one time with each of my children every week
Catch up on family scrapbooks
Visit and or call a friend at least once a month
Educational:
Read at least one book a month
Try at least one new recipe every month
Personal:
Eat a healthy diet and avoid sugar and processed foods
Exercise at least 4x a week
Volunteer at children's school regularly
Look for ways to serve others without them knowing
Besides all that, I'm hoping to start a new blog. I've been toying around with an idea to put together a W Family blog that will document the histories of my parents, siblings and other relatives. We all have interesting stories to tell and I'd like a way to share them with each other, so I hope to put something together for that part of my extended family. Maybe I'll do one for Stuart's family too, who knows?
I wish you all the best in the year of 2012!
