Twenty Twelve: New Year's Resolutions

Tonight I looked at my husband and said "It's so weird to think we have a toddler." Time flies by so quickly. In high school the thought of days or weeks seemed too long for my impatient personality...now I find myself cringing at how short months or years sound to me.

The beginning of a new year makes most reflect on the shortness of life and reminds me of this short poem:

"We've only one life

 It will soon be past

Only what's done

for Christ will last"

Last year my New Year's Resolution was to have no resolutions. I did a great job at that last year! This year, however, I decided to make a couple to challenge myself.

Resolution 1: Read through a devotional book every month

Resolution 2: Eat a strict vegetarian diet this year. No meat. Not even my precious, delicious sushi.

Resolution 3: This one was inspired by my husband (and the bathroom scale), and is our "couple's resolution": NO soda til 2013! I'm already going through withdrawal....

Resolution 4: Get everyone I can to refer to this year as "Twenty-twelve" instead of "Two Thousand twelve" =)
