New Beginnings

New Beginnings


Who's excited about 2013

I realize it's "just another year", but a new year brings with it the excitement of new beginnings and new possibilities.  It gives you the opportunity to look ahead and not back.  That makes me excited.  2012 was a year full of ups and downs for our family.  We had too many medical scares (more on that later) and are looking forward to what will hopefully be a year of healing! 

My husband and I make resolutions each year.  You can't meet your goals if you don't have any, right?  We haven't solidified all of them just yet, but we will before Sunday. 

A couple of S.M.A.R.T. rules we have as set our resolutions: 
  1. Specific
  2. Measurable
  3. Attainable
  4. Relevant
  5. Time sensitive

We set these while remembering that (per our pastor's sermon): 

Change beings with ...
  • a sincere desire
  • a single desire
  • a strong determination
  • a steadfast destination
  • a spiritual discipline

I look forward to sharing our lives with you!
