REsolutions,....

I Resolve . . .

6:33 AM Written by Kristin

I seldom make New Years resolutions.

I think it comes from many years of being overly ambitious, setting too many goals, expecting or seeking perfection, and then falling short a few weeks into the process. (Let's face it, when you're imperfect, it's tempting to want to do a "total makeover", and come out the other end just like Mary Poppins :)

I think that's why I absolutely, always loved the council of President Gordon B. Hinckley. He was simply encouraging women just to do their best, it was so refreshing.

"simply do what you can do, in the best way you know"

"If you do your best, it will all work out"

"try a little harder to be a little better"

"I pray that each of us will be a little more kind, a little more thoughtful, a little more courteous."

So . . . for this year, I hope that I can be . . .

. . . a little more prayerful

a little more active

consume a little less sugar

and a little more water

be a little more in the scriptures

and a little more attentive

a little more humble

a little more thrifty

(and take a little better photos, just had to include that one!) . . .

I am indeed grateful for a weekly opportunity to begin again,
to become a little better.
