Happy 2010!

My resolutions:
I will turn forty this year. When considering New Year's Resolutions, I first thought of last minute accomplishments and time/gravity-induced flaws that I might want to correct before reaching this milestone ... but I really don't want to focus that much on me. It is depressing ... it is not enough ... and it is not what life is about. I am who I am and, although I try to be eat healthy, exercise, and be a better person each day than I was the day before, I am an imperfect person. If I focus all of my energies on trying to perfect that which cannot be perfected, I am simply wasting my time and sentencing myself to certain failure and frustration.

So, this year I am going to embrace this life God has given me with every ounce of my being! So here are my resolutions:

Love with abandon! Laugh often! Learn all you can!

Do good even in the face of evil!

Count your blessings!

Make the most of what you have! Be thankful!

Find joy in the little things and be completely blown away by the big things!

Love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength!

I think 2010 is going to be a good year! Embrace it!
