10 Lessons I have learned this year (in no particular order):
- We are capable of more than we allow ourselves to think. I am a little surprised by this realization. I hold myself back way too much, I think. This year, I choose to this more about this lesson learned and less dwelling in the fear.
- Lists, calendars, reminders, dailies are my friends. Doing the same thing every day actually saves me. Routines are a good thing. Variety, for me, isn’t always the spice of life, if I am dropping important relationships, care for myself and family and quick things around the house.
- Daily time in the Word takes less time, but pays huge dividends in my whole day and in my whole life.
- Taking time to workout daily, while I hate it during the activity, the rest of the day I can look at my watch and phone and be grateful for the time spent.
- Eating well. I’d much rather eat crap, but I’m learning the hard way that my migraines are strongly affected by weather and food. So, more time to this in the upcoming year.
- If one of my kids comes to me, drop whatever I’m doing, and I mean, whatever I’m doing, and listen.
- My phone is not that important. But it is and it shouldn’t be. And I really want to figure out how to change this fact this year.
- I married my hero. Just saying. This year saw him taking an additional job to help us. He does whatever he can to help me, the kids, whatever.
- I believe fear and worry are two battles that are my thorns in the flesh. I don’t know that I will ever truly conquer them in this life which means this keeps me on my knees. I am humbled and constantly aware of my need for Him. All. the. time.
- I suck at housekeeper. I just do. I go to other people’s houses and see lovely. I come home to messes everywhere. And honestly, that is one thing I would really like to get a handle on this year with routines. THE MESS.
Peace. Out.
