I've been thinking a lot lately on what New Years resolutions I want to set for the fast approaching 2015. It's made me really reflect on the past year and what I want to change about myself and my life. The more I contemplate what my resolutions should be, I realize that I don't want to set any resolutions.
I've made a lot of changes over the past year including localizing our eating and shopping, being a better mother and wife, reviving my faith, exercising, and all together working towards being the person I want to be. While there are ups and downs throughout the year, I have been successful in "bettering" myself. I feel good about myself, even when I'm not "perfect". So despite all the little things that I could set, such as exercise so many times a week, quit fast food, cutting back on social media, etc, I'm instead going to simply continue on the path I'm on. I'm going to work harder to put my phone and other technology down and be more attentive to my husband, children, and others; I'm going to continue to work towards serving my family a nonGMO, made from scratch diet; I'm going to continue running and showing my girls how to never give up on their goals; I'm going to continue becoming more involved with my church to help spread peace throughout my community. Together these things make me happy and continue to make me a "better" me. I'm not going to worry about the little things, or worry about each time I don't do something exactly how I would like (like grabbing some chick-fil-a instead of cooking a meal); I'm just going to focus on the positives and spread smiles to everyone around me, knowing I'm doing the best I can do. We are human, we are not perfect.
