Each year I eagerly look forward to the “new” that comes with January. And so this year I delight once again in making a list of my intentions, they are friendlier than resolutions and more agreeable to my nature. And so with renewed inspiration, I am resolved to walk more freely into the greater grace of God toward all the joys and beauty of this new year.
- DRINK MORE WATER
- READ MORE BOOKS (nearly as vital as water)
- EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
- LESS SCREEN TIME
- MORE MINDFUL MOMENTS
- LAUGHTER AND SMILES; MORE OF BOTH (& hugs, never too many)
- MAKE ROOM FOR CREATIVITY
- MEMORIZE AND MEDITATE ON SCRIPTURE (one verse at a time)
- MOVE, SING, DANCE, MAKE LOVE (more of all of these)
- FIND THE DAY’S BEAUTY (and record it… make a list)
- GRATITUDE IS ESSENTIAL, GIVE THANKS
- ENCOURAGE AS WELL AS INSTRUCT (my children)
- LISTEN WITH MY EYES… NOT JUST MY EARS
