Top Ten Wishes for the New Year

In my women's group at church, this is our assignment. To dream BIG and freely, without the little critic/judge voice. I'm not one for New Year's resolutions. I like to think of it more as a process, starting over each day. So these aren't supposed to be resolutions, more like dreams.

So here are mine:
- Start a vegetable garden and a compost bin.
- Learn to play the guitar.
- Learn to knit my daughter a little green sweater.
- Trust God more with my discernment.
- Have more sex. (That is, want to have more sex.
- Have such a relationship with God that I can't help spending time in prayer every day. (hee hee, I like the order these just happened in...funny)
- Love myself enough to care more about my home environment. It's just not tidy. I try, but I don't make it a priority/habit. I go in MAJOR cycles and I just wish I could ALWAYS just put things where they belong without making "for later" piles.
- Work on my friendships more; more effort and initiative.
- Be more of a giver in my marriage.
- Use some money to really help someone in a major way.

Anyone want to share theirs?

I like yours, and it's sweet to think of you knitting a green sweater for your daughter! In contrast, my 18 year old daughter just taught herself to knit, as I don't know how.

I'm not into all the resolutions, except for trying to choose HEALTH, which I've been doing with my diet, at least, since Jan. 1.

Oh, grace...having little kids makes it really hard to want to have sex, let alone "more"...it get's better...of course then you face menopause and whole other set of physical stuff...sigh..

good list though!

I love this. Dreaming again is my main goal for this year, too.
