Happy New Year

Well today is the 1st day of 2010. Ten years ago some thought the world would stop because of the computer age turnover for the millennium year.I don't recall any tragedy's and has it really been 10 years ago.

But, today marks a new year for us all. Old things behind us and new thoughts dreams are ahead of us. What do you suppose this year will hold you? I'm sure it will be full of laughs, and heartaches for us all. But, God is so faithfully in ever situation and He and He alone knows what is ahead of us. I for one am glad that I can't see into the future and know what is coming.I honestly don't think any of us could deal with it if we knew what was ahead, we would try to avoid many situations, and hurry up and try to do many other things. But God is His divine wisdom knows exactly how to handle us all and every thing that we must go face.

For me some of the things I am looking forward to this year is I am going to try to spend more time reading my Bible and praying.(I must admit I get busy doing, and get so neglectful of this)Shame on me.

I am going to try to consistently eat more healthy and try to focus in on 1400 calories per day. I must plan and prepare ahead of time to accomplish this. I want to get back to exercising. 50 pounds this year is my goal to lose and to get off one of my cholesterol medicines and avoid blood pressure medicine.(I'm borderline right now)The Dr. told me I was going to be collecting pill bottles. Ouch!!! I want to try to slow down and be less busy.I want to be more thoughtful of other people and caring for what they are going through. I want to find ways to let them know that someone does care for them and has prayed for them and thought about them on such given day. I want to spend more time with my husband, not doing anything in particular but just hanging out, and my children and their families. Just enjoying one another because time is swiftly passing us all by.

So what are some of the things you are looking forward to this year?
