Well, I haven't been around much lately and this post will probably be lacking.  I just wanted to post about my hopes for 2012!

Last year I wrote that I wanted to make my bed everyday, as well as vacuum.  And I am proud to report that I've done both almost every single day!  Yeah!

Our pastor spoke this week about the new year and challenged us to make realistic, short term goals in four different areas: wisdom (knowledge), spiritual, physical and relational.

My wisdom (knowledge) goal is to read at least one book per month.  I challenged myself to that last year and I honestly don't know if I read at least 12 books.  I can say that I certainly didn't read one per month, though some months I did read more than one.

My spiritual goal is to spend 30 minutes in prayer per day.  This doesn't seem like much but its far more than the 5 minutes I pray everyday with Elias at bed time.  Yikes!

My physical goal is going to seem pretty lame but I want to begin with the goal of drinking at least 64 ounces of water per day.  I do have weight lose goals but I am going to start by getting in the habit of drinking enough water so that my body will be hydrated.

My relational goal is to find time to meet with a friend at least once per month.  I need friendships and they are honestly completely lacking in my life right now.

Well, the little is screaming.  Better get going!
