Last year I was totally into thee whole new years resolution thing. This year..... Not so much. But I thought I would at least confess my sins of last year...

The whole meatless thing actually went pretty well... Well except for the meal planning bit.... I am not that committed to my detailed planning. I am way better with the whole bigger picture concept.

Through the whole meatless thing I gained some insight into some other nutritional benefits of being more diligent in food management.... ie weight-loss (who knew obesity and food were connected ;) ).

We had a good year. We have a lot to be thankful for and we have learned some valuable lessons. This has most certainly been a year of big changes and a LOT of stress. For the most part both dusty and I have felt like we hover from one chaotic moment to the next. But we have managed and still are happy and didn't even fight (that much).

As I have contemplated my lack of enthusiasm for new years it has become quite evident that I what I need this yeAr is to just be.

I want to BE healthy. I will try to make choices daily that will get me there. Last year I spent a lot of time and energy in this department. This year my goal is to make smart clean food choices and exercise 1/2 an hour to an hour daily.

I want to BE happy. For me that means simple things that I love. Make time for lunch dates with friends, knitting, reading, blogging, cooking...

I want to BE a good primary president.

I want to BE a good mom.

We have some big changes in the very short future and after the chaos of moving I am totally just going to breath this year And take it easy!
