7 Resolutions
1. First of all, I DON'T resolve to maintain this blog. I'm not sure I even want to have a blog. As much as I have loved blogging in the past, I don't have much time for it these days and I haven't felt an ounce of inspiration since starting it.
2. To have a schedule which incorporates the important stuff without over-scheduling my soon-to-be-school-shocked children. Three of my kids will be starting school this next week after being homeschooled for the last year and a half. While I am utterly delighted that they will be going to this particular school, which is truly everything I could possibly want in an academic environment, they (and consequently "I") will need to wake up at 6 a.m. each morning. I want to be honest as we move forward that some of our extras will need to fall away most likely.
3. To go to Mass and be fed by the body and blood of Christ every day if I possibly can. Also, to maintain my prayer commitments even when I'd rather be doing other stuff, because this year has shown me in such an undeniable way that prayer~~actually doing it, not just thinking about it or talking about it~~cracks open the door to heaven and is the only true means of accomplishment.
4. Gratuitous resolution here about exercise. Seriously though, I am going to start praying about this. :)
5. To put better boundaries around my internet time. I recently went without internet in our home for a couple months and it was a time of intense spiritual renewal and relationship with Jesus. As it came with a lot of worldly inconvenience I opted to get it back but I do not want to turn away from Him. I want to do better at turning it off. If I can't, I will get rid of it again.
6. To keep in touch via human contact (i.e., voice, not email!) with the people I care about.
7. To maintain cheerfulness and trust in the Lord; to be a good steward over what He has given us and to follow His promptings in regards to our vocations.
Happy New Year, everybody!
