We are so excited to be starting a new year & are grateful for the joy experienced & lessons learned in 2010... That being said, there are some things we want & need to improve on for 2011 & I'm so excited for the ability to work on them! Zac & I have been thinking & brainstorming for a few weeks about our New Year's Goals. We had some things written down and even some action plan steps in place to keep us consistently accountable to those goals, but a couple nights ago we found this new message on the Mormon Messages page, and it was like it'd been put there just for us. Zac even wants me to put it on a shirt for him, so I think this has become our main couple goal & focus for the year. Instead of a word of the year, this is our theme of the year:
"Look Not Behind Thee." {Genesis 19:17}
Rather than focusing on the past, things we have no control over anymore, we are focusing on looking forward. On really believing that what Heavenly Father has in store for us in the future is even better than what we had in the past. That we can take the lessons we learned in the past & forge on to a better future. We want to live right now & like I read on another blog recently, have a "passionate joy in the present." Powerful, yes?
That said, here are some more goals & delicious dreams we have for this spectacular year:
-Have an executive meeting each Sunday night {z.k}
-Mini executive meetings nightly: 10 minutes {z.k}
-Raise my voice less {k}
-Grow our businesses {z.k}
-Be kind {z.k.g.b}
-Take Family pictures {z.k.g.b}
-Attend the temple at least once a month {z.k}
-Read scriptures daily {z.k}
-Study & prepare SS lesson well before Sunday {z}
-Celebrate the little things {z.k.g.b}
-FHE Monday's at 6:00 {z.k.g.b}
-Utilize systems to become more organized: M.O.M, Flylady
-Work on building our best bodies to this point {z.k}
-Travel & take another family trip {z.k.g.b}
-Keep up digital project life & family blog {k}
-Take Mac classes {z}
-Play play play! {b.g}
-Turn 3 {g}, turn 1 {b}
We are mostly excited to stop looking at our past &
continue making great memories right now...every day.
I loved that and loved all your words throughout. YOu always inspire me. That's why I love you so much. I think what I found even more refreshing is how intune you and Zac are together. YOu amazed me. I loved reading through your flashback of 2010. I totally remembered everything. Thank goodness for blogs to allow me to feel apart of your life. I am just ordering my 2010 blog book and it's ONLY 292 pages. YIKES! We'll see if I can be affording that. :) LOve you!
I love how you write your blog and I resolve to be more like you! I love reading your words and I loved you month of december reading..it was fun! Those are some really great and attainable goals. Good for you!! :0)
I needed to watch the video and read what you wrote about your new year! I love in the video when one of them talked about how the future could be better, so don't look back. I hadn't really thought about it before, but I really do focus on the past...way too much. It is what holds me back from so many things. Thank you Karli for being the example that you are! Love you!!
You're amazing, Karli! Seriously...you are such a great example to me. Thank you. I have to say that it made my day to see that we made your high/low lights list. Hopefully we were a highlight and not a lowlight due to the fact that we almost had to crawl in the Carl's Jr play place to get Kacen and Grayson! :)
