Well 2011 is a thing of the past and we have begun 2012! I for one prefer even numbers, so I am already happy with this year. :) I am definitely looking forward to this year and all the blessings God has in store!
I'm not really one to make "New Year's Resolutions." I understand the purpose and timing, but I really think that sometimes we set ourselves up to fail or are too specific in our resolutions. For instance, "starting Jan. 1st I'm going to stop eating junk, excercise every day and lose 50 lbs by summer." Well it sounds good, but there's no way I'm going to stop eating junk all together (it's too much of a habit! ;) ), and excercising every day would be awesome, but also not realistic to think that I will do it EVERY day, and losing 50lbs would be awesome, but if I only lose 25 by summer am I a failure? I guess I just know myself and realize that while this style of resolution might be a great motivation and totally work for some people, it's just not my style.
So I'm not going to play that game. Instead I'd rather think big picture and work on things over the year, with no hard and fast dealines or super specific goals. And I think my big picture focus is going to be on Health, not just physical, but financial, emotional, spiritual, and in relationships too. So in all the things I do everyday I hope to have "Health" on my mind and I hope that will guide me to making good choices to support my Health in a variety of areas. And realizing that I am not perfect and will fail at times, I will commit this to prayer. I will ask God to help me to be mindful of this and stay focused on Him, because I know that when I do everything else always falls into place. :)
So a happy and HEALTHY New Year to you!
