Starting Fresh

Happy 2014!

I must say, it's been an interesting new year so far.  Evan got the flu Wednesday, then I got the flu yesterday and felt totally crummy. I spent most of the day in bed, groaning.  Steve was able to come home early and take care of the kids (I'm surprised they were all still alive).

Thankfully, today I feel great!  I was actually able to eat breakfast and keep it down.  I've started cleaning the house and sanitizing, and hopefully we can keep everyone else from getting sick.

It makes me think about how wonderful it is to start off fresh.  I am so grateful to be healthy after living through yesterday.

This year I am going to work on:
-Praying morning and night
-Read scriptures daily
-Attend temple monthly
-Complete YW personal progress
-Monthly dates with hubby or kids
-FHE weekly
-Help kids learn to clean.
-Focus on saying kind words to others as often as possible.
-Using cash instead of card.
-Create a budget for how much cash I need.
-Staying at 1500 calories a day until I've lost about 10 lbs.

So, that seems a little extensive, but I think it's doable.  I should probably post this somewhere I'll see it every day.  Done.  Okay.  Happy New Year!  It'll be a good one!
