2012... moving forward and looking back

I've tried to challenge my myself with a few things this year. Ironically... not new things, things that I have fallen away from and want them back! One of those things is blogging.
I picked up the book I had printed of my first year and a half of blogging. It was so great to see pictures and read through the events happening, and emotions I had. It was kind of strange, in that much of what I read sounded foreign... like it was written by someone else. I think that I've missed myself. I didn't realize how much I've changed, or just maybe how 'out of touch' I am with myself.
It was something that happened slowly... along with other things. I fell off track with taking care of myself physically. This month marks one year of working from home. It's been a love/hate relationship... in all aspects. I didn't realize how much it would change my life to begin working more hours a week. The things sacrificed for this change have not always been good.
So my goals this year are focused forward... but for the first time, my goals are also strangely focused on getting back to some things I seem to have let slip away.
As in years past, my yearly goals are based from Luke 2:52 improving my life "in wisdom, stature, and in favour with God and man"

To increase my wisdom:

Blog.
Not that writing about myself makes me smarter... but writing in general is good for me. I want to get back to tracking my life and creating a journal for myself and a family history for my children.

To increase stature (physical goals):

Weight loss.
Not that I need to 'increase' my stature... but I need to better it. Sadly... this is my physical goal every year.

To increase favour with God (spiritual goals):

Sacrament meeting attendance.
For me... but mostly my children. The jump from 1pm to 9am might be the death of me... but I need to grow up about it. Quickly! I know I will better fulfill my calling as well. I love working with kiddos, and I know that after a great year with my Primary class last year... I can make this year even better!

I'm not feeling as ambitious as years past with two goals in each category, I figure that by making one goal I might be able to focus a little better.
I have a lot of catching up to do with blogging. I have a lot of exercising and counting calories to do... and I've got to start getting to bed really early Saturday nights! Honestly the tasks seems daunting right now... but if I want to make it happen I can. After all... nothing in this world worth having comes easy. (Sure wish it did!)
