...not make New Year's resolutions! I honestly think about it each year, then I decide that my view hasn't changed-that I should be resolving daily, to be a better person than I was the day before. That I should try to be more kind, more caring...less impatient, less willful...in short, to try daily to be a better version of myself. That's not just something I think about one day a year, or that I merely want to pay lip service to. It's an internalized goal. Sometimes, I make it, sometimes, I don't. The last few months of 2018 focused my attention on just how much I have to be grateful for. I'm a lucky woman, who's been blessed well beyond what she'd rightly deserve. If I'm working on anything this year, it's to have a laser focus on gratefulness. If my heart is grateful, my mouth will yield to that and speak gratefulness (Matt 12:34"For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks").
What feeds your attitude? What do you want people to see in you? Because I promise you, whatever is in your heart is what's going to come out of your mouth. Feed your spirit. This will guide your heart, which in turn will govern what comes out of your mouth. That's not just a resolution for a year. It's a life goal. As I wait for the next chapter in my love life to begin, this is what I'm working on. In essence, it's going to make me the type of person who's ready to love deeply and share my spirit. It's taken me a long time to understand that if I want someone to love me, I have to be prepared to love, and be ready to love before it arrives-not wait until it gets here to make the necessary tweaks. Not easy to face. Not easy to do. But completely necessary to continue growing and becoming all I was meant to be. So...I wish you a Happy New Year, marching forward with a life resolved to be more than I was yesterday-each day. Onward!
