New Year...not Resolution.

Soooo, every year I examine myself and find one particular thing I can work on for that year.  Last year it was "interrupting". I know this sounds silly but my sister used to HATE HATE HATE that I would interrupt her (and who knows who else) all the time. I decided to make that my mission in 2014...to do it less...and I did. Its hard and a conscious effort has to be made daily- but I definitely improved...A LOT!  

This year my thoughts are a little more personal. I just started this blog recently, and I'm not a SUPER open person when it comes to 'certain' areas of my life. This isn't easy. It's never easy to admit when you basically "suck" at something.

For the last 6 years I've been blessed to be called "mommy".  I love everything that job comes with. I love my kids in a way that I didn't chose to love them. It's instilled in me. This happened, for me, the moment I laid eyes on them. It's a love I can't protect myself from or limit....it's genuine and eternal.

For the last 8 years I've been blessed with an amazing husband.  One that I take for granted at times.  One that is hard working and caring and thoughtful (even if he doesn't execute on his sweet thoughts..LOL).  I feel like over the last few years, my patience and love has been pointed to my kids and I leave very little for Josh. He's my partner in life and my rock- yet why does he get "what's left" of my feelings at the end of the day. All this being said, my goal for 2015 is to lift Josh up daily. To show him and tell him how much he means to me. To put him before our kids but after God, where he should have always been. I've apologized to him for this and pray that God turns these thoughts and goals into a great reality.

So, think of something that you can do to lift someone else up this year!!! :) I really believe the more you lift others, the more you will be lifted!!

God Bless,
