well, an entire week after the new year began I woke this morning with new resolve. After 21 days at home with my children....many of those trapped indoors other than an occasional romp in the snow, I woke feeling motivated instead of burnt out! This is reason to celebrate! We brought out the playdoh for hours of fun! We put on good tunes and are really enjoying our day instead of just passing the time.
My resolution is not for 2010, but for life. I am sure that I will fail at least as much as I succeed, but I will do my very best to LIVE INTENTIONALLY. Thats it. I will make no promises to work out, yell less, eat less, or keep a cleaner home. I figure if i truely live every day with intention then all those things will follow.....I realize this is no new concept. I believe there is a radio segment titled Intentional Living. I used to listen to it daily and think"good idea." I never even once thought "what do I need to be more intentional about?" I see it now, the answer is that I need to be intentional with every breath I take, every word I say, and every household chore I tackle, as though doing it for the Lord! I know that tomorrow I will be thinking..." what was I thinking putting a resolution in print?" To me, this makes it like a rule instead of a passing notion. But hopefully I will remember that being intentional is good for me and good for those I love and good for the witness that I am trying to be in my own small way. So, off I go....wish me well....
