Here are the 7 Quick Takes sponsored by Jen at the Conversion Diary.
These Quick Takes will serve as my resolutions for the coming year.
- I am going to really try to do Weight Watchers again as opposed to just going to Weight Watchers and doing nothing toward weight loss between meetings. I struggle and I struggle with weight issues. I have finally accepted that God loves me whether I am fat or thin. I am ready to be less fat right now. I know that everybody resolves to lose weight, but it isn't a bad resolution.
- I have felt a call to write since I was young. I am going to work on it a little more in the new year. The writing that I intend to work on will include but not be limited to the blog. At least I hope not.
- I need to develop a relationship with my son again. We have drifted in separate directions for a while now. I have thought there was nothing I could do about that. I have decided that it isn't true. I can work to see him more often and to be a factor in his life. So, look out, M-ose, your mamma is going to get to know you better.(Now don't any of you tell him this.)
- We are going somewhere on vacation this year. I promise myself that. We are going somewhere. To me going somewhere is important. We haven't really been anywhere in a couple of years and I long to be anywhere but here for a while this summer. And I am going to set foot in Oklahoma this year.
- I am not teaming on another retreat in the year 2010. I hope to go on a retreat, but not do a retreat. I need a spiritual break from faith formation.
- I plan to do some redecoration. some cleaning out, and some organization in this house this year. Since I put work into things I blog about, I intend to blog a little about those things in hopes that I will do them more. Use the blog to help make my life better, instead of quitting the blog to make my life better.
- I intend to continue spiritual direction to help me grow closer to God and to hear His call in my life. I have already gone so far toward the forgiveness I longed to be able to achieve at this time last year. I am moving toward living a life that is not full of regrets for things that didn't happen the way I planned them. God alone knows how far I could come by this time next year. I would like to think I am done with all the hard stuff, but I have a feeling that my director will pull some more stuff out of me. That is a good thing.
4 beautiful thought{s}:
WHOA! thats a lot to tackle! Maybe I'll try out your organisation and cleaning stuff here as you do--sort of a see MAry do MAry...LOL I will make it official--I will, in 2010, clean and decorate at least as much as Mary does! And in the more forgiving dept? I will forgive myself if I don't? Have a great 2010 Library Anne!
I have already started some of those things and have blog posts written, so look out. But, I bet you could clean rings around me and decorating is not my strong suit. I am just not good at housewifery. But, I can learn. I don't think I am allowed to quit. Thanks for the glad tidings!
Those are great resolutions.
Use the blog to help make my life better, instead of quitting the blog to make my life better.
Oh gosh, I hope you weren't talking to me indirectly cuz I'd be so embarrassed.
No, Dawn, I was talking to me. You aren't the only quitter in the blogging department. Marie has quit. Amanda quit. Missy quit. I have reflected on the people who have quit and why. It seems that they had plans to improve their lives and those plans didn't involve blogging. If I quit it would be to give up something I love to do something I am not especially fond of, which doesn't seem like a very good trade off. So, I tried to trick myself into doing something I loathe by doing something I love as part of it. It remains to be seen how big a fool (er) I am. But it if comes to a choice between cleaning and blogging, I know which one I'll choose.
