Resolutions- sorta

I said, last night, that I would post my new year resolutions. After putting some thought into it, I have decided that I would like to maintain some perspective and look at what I have accomplished over the past year.
1. We finally found a church that we absolutely love!
2. I lost 54lb.- now I have to work on that flab that is left over.
3. I achieved my LPC-MHSP (Licensed Professional Counselor- Mental Health Service Provider designation).
4. I think that I am accomplishing quite a bit with my job and making a difference in the world. (and my boss is wonderful)
5. I have a wonderful marriage and adorable husband that I feel is my best friend.
6. I have been blessed with so many others that I am friends with.
7. I have learned to let go of some of the smaller things, such as feeling like my house has to be absolutely spotless all of the time.
8. We are getting some of Pumpkin Pie's medical issues under control.
9. Sweet Pea is following directions better and is going to sleep in her own bed at least half of the time. Keep in mind that she is five and I haven't had the heart to break her from falling asleep in my bed and then moving her to her bed until several months ago and this has been harder on me than on her.
10. I am proud of who I am and the morals and values that I have.

For the new year, I have the basic goals of getting closer to God, being a better mom and wife and friend, losing weight/toning up, etc... But last year is going to be hard to beat. I am very fortunate that I have had such a wonderful year (actually a wonderful 7 years with my family) and have only hit some minor speed bumps along the way. I have been blessed and I know that there is plenty left to come. I am looking forward to every minute of it!
