As such, we’ve decided to make our family theme for the year this quote from the Doctrine & Covenants:
“Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.”
Especially after the craziness of the end of the year, this year, I want to pare down my resolutions. I want to focus on peace.
So I’m just not going to push myself to force a bunch of resolutions I’m kind of ¨meh¨ about. I like to continue exercising, but I’m not going to set a quota for it. I certainly hope I become better acquainted with my cookbooks, but if this isn’t THE year for it, the world won’t end. So I’m just focusing on just a few resolutions based on our theme:
1. Learn: Read 50 books, at least 4 with Dan. Learn of consulting opportunities available and begin working (very minimally) again. Do Monday Mommy School. Do a DC Activity each month.
2. Listen: Stop whatever I’m doing at 10:30pm. Listen to the Doctrine & Covenants with the kids, and help Nat memorize a scripture each month. One line a day journal to record voice of the Spirit. Write down one family story each month.
3. Walk in Meekness: Don’t respond in anger to my family members (even if I feel it). Complete Personal Progress.
4. Have Peace: Choose to have it, and to receive it.
Here’s looking at you, 2014. It’s going to be great.
My sister is re-doing her personal progress and I never completed mine when I was in YW, so I'm thinking I might have to do that one too! I also need to be better about reading scriptures with my kiddos.
I did not make resolutions, but I love yours! Can I steal them?
