goals...intentions...resolutions...list of things to do...

I don't think it really matters what we call it - there's something about the freshness of a new year that makes most people want to implement some changes in their lives for the better. Get rid of some habit that isn't all that helpful. Try something new. Move forward in an area where you may have been stagnant. Start afresh. It's one of my favourite things to do at the beginning of a year :)

I spent a little time the other day reflecting on 2008. What an awesome year.

Simplemom followed up with some questions to help you with your goals for 2009. I read these and would normally have jumped in with both feet and had a great time answering them. But instead I felt slightly overwhelmed! So I think I have to go back and rethink exactly what I want from 2009.

One thing comes to mind that is more important than any other - grow closer to God. Be more like Him. But I realise that is a vague statement and I need to be more specific to actually get anywhere with that.

Ariella just woke up tho, so it'll have to wait ;)
