Change of heart and mind....

That certainly didn't last long on me holding out setting any specific goals for 2015!  I caught myself off guard when I realized that I actually like the beginning of new years and I also like planning and setting in place a couple of plans.  I do like to read my creed list and see if I still want to endeavor to bring those traits into my life.  I do like the familiarity, the newness, the hope, the dreams, the plans for a fresh start and plans for achievement and progress in setting goals.

I feel more myself, in doing what I've always done, in starting yet another eating program and one more gung-ho organization plan, and reaching for that desired unobtainable perfection-- on a list long enough to fill a ream of paper.  At my age it's sort of like asking myself...Why didn't I make carbon copies of all of these things and just change the year each January 1st?  

So the summary is... (drum-roll!!!!)

Increased Health 

Clean Hearth-side 

Unconditional Love- for Family, Friends and Foes

Spiritual Growth 

So there you go.  No surprises listed.  I have bared my soul and shared my goals and I will check back about my progress January 1, 2016.  Yes.  In one year!

About jelly beans

Almost 2015 and every where I turn I read, and hear about,  the marvelous things that people are setting as goals.   This jelly bean video really made me think about my use of time...here

Mentally I erased the blackboard filled with 2014 writing and lists going every which direction.  some drawn through.  some scribbled out.  I cleaned that mind list.  That should be plural...erased all of the lists. 

Life in and of itself will give me more than enough to do this new year of 2015.  There will be what seems an endless outcropping of brush-fires, amongst family/friends and within my co-dependent self also.  Managing life as it unfolds is enough for me to have on my list!  I think I focus more on my daily to-do list than specialty items like goals.

Terry and I did determine to do better at FHE.  We both like the 4 behaviors that Elder Scott said we should do.  FHE & Prayer & Scripture reading & Temple attendance.  We will do those things.  Is it cheating...we already work at those things... and aren't doing others?  Our FHE needs some attention. 

We are going to continue to Index and get into Genealogy.

As for me...I'm just going to do the best I can in whatever the situation I find myself in 2015.  That gives me a lot of non-stress.  To just relax and deal with things as they need tending. 

I know me.  In 2015--I will end up with lists and projects and plans and desires and attempts, even if I say I'm not going to do it!!  Just watch!!!

Have a wonderful 2015!!  I will also and let's enjoy life.  We have the Gospel and that means JOY!!

Putting on the brakes for 2015

Now we're talking sensible!!!  Thank you, Julianna!
