And because it's always interesting here are the goals I accomplished from last year's resolutions.
Be who I am, where I am. Learn to embrace the time in my life for what it is. No more looking back. No more wishing for the future at expense of the present.
I really learned how to do that and it made my life so much happier.
Be softer
I tried and I'm going to continue to try to do this. I'm a strong person and being soft doesn't come easily to me.
Think before I speak.
Um, same response. A work in progress.
Go easier on myself and others. Love people and myself for what they can give me instead of focusing on what they can't.
I'm doing much better here.
Attend the temple monthly.
50%, terrible showing. I'm hoping that my proximity to family to help with the kids and proximity to the temple itself will help me this year. There are no excuses though!
Read 52 books (excepting children's books)
I read 43. Not bad, will do better this year.
Get Scuba certified.
Nope
Have FHE every week.
Yup.
Personal Spiritual Goals Outlined in my journal
Some yes, some no. Can do better on all of them.
Lose 15 lbs.
Yup, lost more than that!

These are great goals Chris! And good job on accomplishing so many last year. I didn't do as well on mine. Why stop chewing ice though? Is it bad?
I like your one from last year about not looking back or focusing too much on the future. I need to use that one in my own life.
Hey Christie...I am pretty sure I have a decent Jazz offer for you...need to get in touch sometime. Hope all is well. With the move in and the settling in. Love and hugs ♥
thought i would say that is quite a list of resolutions. you are so good at that. i still need to talk to you...oh, sometime. anyhow. hope your sabbath was pleasant and restful, and that you are doing okay. i have been worried with what i keep hearing. hmmmm. okay, well you are in our prayers., and your cute little family, too.
Hey Christie--Just saw you have a blog on your facebook! How fun! I have one too--inawesomewonder.blogspot.com.
P.S. I want to be one of your 3 new friends in the neighborhood! :)
Wow, if I had time to make a list like that, I would feel terrible at the end of the year because I KNOW I wouldn't be able to accomplish even half. That is why I don't put too many expectations on myself, that way I am not let down! LOL! I bet you will get them all accomplished! It was great to hear from you. I am so glad you have made it to our neck of the woods or valley or mountain side! Welcome to Cedar Hills. We would love to get together sometime with you guys... Talk to you soon!
