A New Year

I don't really agree with New Year's Resolutions, so that is not what this is about! It is simply a post about it being a New Year. I think it is fun to start new and to have goals in mind to make myself better. However, I feel like I make these goals daily for myself. However, there are a few things that I would like to do better throughout this whole year, so I thought I would share them. These are listed in no particular order, but rather just a bucket list for the year. I am posting it because I would like to post more, but also because then you can keep me accountable this year for all of you who actually read this :)

1. Graduate! (May 12, 2012)
2. Find a job in this area. Preferably before graduation, but even soon after would be great.
3. Support my husband in his job search as he also graduates in May :)
4. Work out at least 3 days/week. Today I played Just Dance 3 for 45 minutes as starting to run again kind of scares me!
5. Spend more time in the word.
6. Stay in touch with family and friends even better aka more frequently.
7. Write something down each day that I am thankful for and then look at them at the end of the year to understand God's blessings and how great they are for me.
8. Write here more to help in that reflection/sharing life goal.
9. End my graduate career well and not disappoint others I work with when my time will be strapped thin this semester looking for a job after this one.
10. Maintain a positive attitude. Those of you who know me understand that this is not my natural outlook, but hopefully I can make it that way.

Just a few things to make me a better light to the world and to make 2012 a year of understanding blessings! Anything you are looking to do differently this year? If so, please share below.
