What... no really.. I kid you
not.
I have just gotten over the "Holiday Rush", got through the
clean up and putting away just in time for some New Year Eve being in bed
before Midnight, and the restart of school.
I was silly enough to think I would get a break. I crack myself up
sometimes.
I have not made New Year Resolutions for a long time basically
because they don't mean much to me. I find it easiest to break promises to myself
then to anyone else. It is a little crazy, but so true.
For this blog I was going to include some New Year Blog entries that
I had found. After reading them I have decided that we need a challenge not a
resolution. We need to make changes that matter that will effect more than just
us.
I challenge you
to surprise a neighbor/friend/parent with a dinner invitation.
I challenge you
to take time to refresh your soul.
I challenge you to
plan 1 meal a week for your family.
I challenge you
to start a Christmas Jar.
I challenge you
to do something for yourself and NOT feel guilty.
I challenge you
to laugh more often.
I challenge you
to notice something New in your daily routine.
I challenge you
to help your kids get more involved with the family: plan a meal, help cook,
clean, plan a family day.
I challenge you
to Stop take a Breath and Open your Eyes on the days you feel like you CAN'T.
I challenge you
to Try Something New.
I challenge you
to Give a little more to help.
I challenge you
to get to Know Yourself a little better.
I challenge you
to Challenge Someone to do something Wonderful!
Some of these look easy and some more difficult, but they are open. They
are open to possibilities. They are open
to living a fuller life if you are up for the challenge. The will help you grow,
your family grow, your friends grow, and maybe even people you haven't met
yet. I have learned that little things
can make the biggest changes even if we don't see the final result.
May your year be full!
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
