10 in '10

I am not one for resolutions because, well, they rarely get kept for the entire year and I don't like them.  I was thrilled when I saw Shanna doing a 10 in '10 list so I had to follow suit.  I have thought about and prayed about what I would like to work on in 2010.  Here is my list!

1. Clean my home studio! (and keep it cleaned)
2. Create at least one new and healthly meal each week
3. Work out, work out, work out!
4. Give more than I receive.  Some form of hands-on charity.  Not just giving of the $$ this year.
5. Solidify some plans for my family
6. Settle into a budget and savings plan
7. Learn something new
8. Start and complete PROJECT: 365
9. Turn 30 with a smile
10. Focus on the Lord, through consistently going to church, sharing Him with J and others and reading my Bible.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Perspectives

I need to change the way I think about some things.  I am blessed.  Do you hear that, self?  YOU. ARE. BLESSED! 

I don't want to be at work....I am so thankful that I have a job in this economy.
I don't want to go home and work out...I am blessed with health and a body that moves.
I wish J wanted to go out tomorrow night...I am thankful that we will spend tomorrow night together, safely.
I haven't had any orders in a few days...I have had extra time in the past few days to spend with family.
I am not content with my life right now...I am where God wants me to be, for a reason.

This is just the beginning. On a "bad day" I could go on and on with the first list.  I encourage all of you to try and change your perspectives on a few things.  Whimsy Wishes!

All in a days work
