i want to:
run.teach my body to run. take care of my body, get back in shape. i’m not defining this by a number on the scale, or a size on a tag. i just want to feel good about myself.being part of move more eat less is something i’m really looking forward to.
learn how to shoot fully in manual. no more of this AV stuff.
sew. take my singer off of the shelf and use it. learn how to make this t-shirt.
find a church. be really active in my church community. i tend to rely on my faith when i’m scared, worried, overwhelmed. i need to get better at growing in my faith all the time. not just when i need Him.
have a date night (more than one, but let’s be honest…i’m hoping for just one) with jimmy.and kissing. always lots of kissing. 🙂
i will:
turn 34.
celebrate sadie’s third birthday.
watch harper start kindergarten.
watch my babies turn one.
go through two more deployments.
stay in savannah through 2012. which is a long time for us!
keep making things i love for studio calico and jenni bowlin. dream gigs. so grateful to be given the opportunity for another year!
i am determined to:
be happy. grateful. courageous.
it’s pretty simple. i don’t want for much…home, happiness, love, making things…friendship, laughter…
and to
do it all with grace…my word of 2011.
I resolve to handle pressure with grace. To weather this year’s deployments with grace and with a smile on my face. To model grace to my girls.
Grace is moral strength. Elegance. Kindness. Gods grace is the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.
I may have not been blessed with physical grace, but I sure can choose to exhibit it in my character.
This year I will be kind. I will say thank you and look people in the eye. I will smile at others when they cross my paths. I will not let the fact that I am having a bad day change the way I treat people.
Happiness is my responsibility.
Here’s to 2011. Lots more blogging, and sharing, and I hope you will all stick around for it. I love each and every one of you, thanks for a year I could only dream of. xoxo
