A Brand New Day

For accoutants, making New Year's resolutions are futile. It is practically impossible to make life changes during tax season. Every year I try, and every year I fail. This year, my resolutions are coming in April, after tax season. A time when I can take the time to master my resolutions and not fail.
The year started out so rough for our family, I'm glad I didn't attempt major changes. Though I know there is no such thing as "normal," I do feel like we are getting back to some sense of it in our lives.
So, Friday nght I made lists; short-term, long-term, spiritual, temporal, very personal, and more family focused. Everything that I want to do in my life in 2011 is now in a list. It seems very overwhelming, yet very doable. I feel that I was aided by the Spirit in making this list, so I feel like I can accomplish it all. I know there will be falls and set-backs, but that is part of learning and growth.
How grateful I am for the chances we have to "make lists" time and time again to help us become better. I'm also grateful for the help from above in achieving my goals.
