Resolution - the act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones
I wrote these for 2010...We did make a lot of changes last year, but still have some work to do. So with that said. I like this list:
I resolve to have a date night with my husband, every month. - this is SO hard
I resolve not to smoke. - done
I resolve to eat less without sacrifice. - Yes!
I resolve to move my body and pump my heart. - trained and ran TWO 5ks!
I resolve to plan our lives. - There is always room for improvement
I resolve to rise earlier than my children. - having a baby helps with this one
I resolve to find a church and bring the children consistently to that newly found church. - Yes, we have and we love it!
I resolve to live in abundance. - must remind myself of this one, daily!
I resolve to write. - I have not done this at all.
