Every year I made a list of resolutions. Every year, I forgot them as soon as I wrote them down.
So I started the word of the year thing. Forgot it after I decided on it. So now I'm just making goals whenever I want.
This year, I made one goal. Technically two, if you count the going on more bike rides with the little "goal", which was made possible by one of my Christmas presents.
My only goal this year is to write one "talk" a month. I plan to use the same process as I would writing a talk I would give in sacrament meeting, without actually having to give it. I always learn better when I'm preparing to teach, and I feel like my spirituality needs a little work. It's so easy to get into a lazy cycle where I just don't do the best things. It's really hard as a stay-at-home mom to choose to do things for my own spiritual learning when I'm spending all my time teaching and watching my daughter. (And spending more time than necessary on social media, because being a SAHM is lonelier than being a teacher, and that's a lonely job.)
I have picked out twelve gospel topics I want to learn more about, and so I plan to write one talk a month, just for me. I may or may not post them here on my blog. But I'm hoping if I post this publicly, I'll be more accountable and be more likely to finish.
I do hope to update some of the things we have done since we moved to Alabama. (Not much has happened, but there have been a few things that I should post. Plus, who doesn't like pictures?)
