This year, I want my resolutions for 2012 to be different. More attainable, more natural with how I already live and what I know I can do. Things that nag on me that I want to change.

I refuse to put anything about losing weight. I’m just not going to set myself up for failure.

I also don’t want these to become “I didn’t do it so I failed” because if I don’t get to them this year, there’s always next.

And the behavior ones aren’t ever going to be perfect. So there’s that.

And on those high notes :p

For personal goals, I have these:

• - Live in the moment
• - Become a more patient, attentive mother
• - Be a supportive, godly, less nagging wife
• - To actually hear myself speak – the tone, the words – and to watch what I say
• - Continue to exercise just for me, not for weight
• - To not over-think things to death
• - Learn Spanish
• - Learn how to cook Indian food
• - Stop procrastinating so much (this took me the longest time to write so right there I’m off to a bad start)
• - Work on photography
• - Become stronger as a Christian woman

For blogging/writing goals:

• - Remember that not having a niche is ok
• - To have my heart overflow with excitement and not jealousy at others successes
• - Remind myself that I write for me
• - Be a better reader/commenter on your blogs
• - Use my time on here wisely
• - Continue to pull in some money for us
• - Blog more on my faith
• - Branch out into other areas
• - Be published. Somewhere.

For life in general:

• - Grow something without killing it
• - Replace more of our plastic with reusable things
• - Curb our grocery bill while still eating healthy
• - Pay off our car (so close!)
• - Spend more time together as a couple
• - Find a church home here
• - Keep up the traditions we’ve started as a family

So hopefully I’ll look back on this at the end of next year and feel a surge of joy that I was able to attempt, if not do successfully, most of these. Or at least not feel guilty if I don’t.

That seems like another resolution.

Now, here is the fun part! Grab your goal/resolution post (or go write it and come back) and link it up below so everyone can come read.

After I read all of yours I’m going to want to redo this and add a lot more…
