New Year's Resolutions

I feel like I should have made one. But really, would I keep it? Probably not. So perhaps I should just decide to "work on some things." That's not the same as requiring I keep some arbitrary promise, right?

So.....

I will try to work on my ruminating thoughts so I can sleep better and not be so tired all the time.

I will try to eat better and exercise more.

I will try to be more positive about things.

I will try to conquer my fear of open water. (But let's be serious...this isn't going to happen!)

I will try to be the best mother/wife/superperson I can be and maybe not try so hard to be the best mother/wife/superperson ever.

I will try to not let soul-crushing people have such a huge influence in my life.

I will do my best to keep the Sabbath and welcome her every Friday night by attending service or lighting candles at home. I shouldn't allow more trivial things to come between me and faith.

I will try to find another job. I will try not to get disappointed when I can't find one that is my dream job.

I will try to be less sullen when I have to compromise.

I will try to remember that the future is more important than a fabulous, full-filled vacation right now. (I'm having a hard time with this one...)

I will try to accept that the things that have happened, have happened and cannot be changed so I should spend less time worrying about them.


It's a good start.
