new beginings

so now that it is the first official full week of the new year i thought that i would write down what i plan to accomplish this year.

1. read all of the Doctrine and covenants and the book of mormon. really i want to do more than just read i really want to study them more. i have read them both many times but i don't think that i have taken the time to understand a lot of it.
2. find more peace in my life.
3. organize!!!!! everything in my life....schedules, house, church callings
4. find way to express my appreciation to others. maybe a simple thank you or a kind word. i just don't think that i do that enough.
5. work on family history. i really want to get this started this year. i have this really strong feeling that it needs to get done so maybe it is time.

so i think that this is a good start. i would add exercise more regularly but that is like an all time standing goal. i don't think that it is one that i will really ever accomplish fully to the way that i want.

and speaking of beginnings the kids are back in school today!!!!!!!! it is nice having them around but i get tired of hearing i'm bored all day. this way they have something to occupy their time. i think that they are actually excited to be back. they miss hanging out with their friends and see someone other than each other. we were having a lot of fighting in the house the last couple of days. and with all the snow and the really cold weather it was understandable but it doesn't mean that it was wanted in any way. so while the kids are at school i guess that i will clean the house that they completely trashed while they were home. this should really be a new goal for the year too but i guess that i will have to fall under the organizing one, because that is what i really need to make this house look good. time to do some decluttering. i hate clutter drives me crazy. anyway until next time have a good day
