Goals for 2009

I read once that the best way to be happy is to tell yourself that you are happy. Well that seems to have been my lives philosophy even before John died. The power of the mind is such that anything you believe to be possible, is. I guess that's why I have such faith in the plan of salvation. I know it is true, because how could I have gotten along for seven months without my reason for living?

So with that said, I have a list of goals for the year. I hope that each of these will not only ground me, but help me and my family to enjoy the journey through the rest of this life.

1. Read my scriptures everyday
2. Pray
3. Watch the sunset
4. Take Pictures
5. Have picnics with the kids
6. Wear skirts on the weekday
7. Explore new places
8. Play with the kids, leave the dishes
9. Make a new tradition
10. Control how much I worry
11. Go to bed earlier
12. Watch the sunrise
13. Learn my place in this new world
14. Encourage the kids creativity
15. Laugh, really laugh
16. Be happy
17. Be able to express my feeling better face to face
18. Ride a motorcycle
19. Run
20. Become a Woman at the Well

These are just a few, off the top of my head. Heavenly Father has shown me over and over that he is there, and that he knows and loves me, ME! I know that he would never take my husband, and the kids father, and not provide a way for us. Sometimes it's a struggle, but as long as I allow him to lead me, I know that we'll be safe. I don't know what's in store down the road for us, but I do know that I must be something great, ordinary people aren't blessed this much for no reason.
