I have thought about resolving to have more fun with my children, and not worry so much about the cleaning, grocery shopping, etc.Shannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457905887096045623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-6897148074814986912008-12-29T06:59:00.000-08:002008-12-29T06:59:00.000-08:00I tend to set goals for myself for the year but I ...I tend to set goals for myself for the year but I rarely get many of the accomplished. <BR/><BR/>Your post really has me thinking though. If we did give that time to the Lord each day I'm sure it would change us in ways we can't imagine.

I'm going to try short term goals--things to work on each month. Maybe that will work ; )Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15699747294702088605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-3491252814855748262008-12-29T04:15:00.000-08:002008-12-29T04:15:00.000-08:00I usually only set one or two goals at a time. an...I usually only set one or two goals at a time. and I try to do it year-round. That way it isn't so overwhelming. I also set a big goal, then break it down into more manageable mini-goals. Ex; lose 10lbs is the big goal. small goals might be to eat 4 servings of vegetables daily, work out for 45 min 4x a week or something like that.Adena and Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613613816579736796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-86325519956566284842008-12-28T21:34:00.000-08:002008-12-28T21:34:00.000-08:00I'm not a resolution person either.

I like the idea of tithing your day.flip flop mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770484678729883256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-63634773597838790462008-12-28T20:07:00.000-08:002008-12-28T20:07:00.000-08:00I don't really set resolutions because I find that...I don't really set resolutions because I find that most people, myself included, don't really follow through with them. So, I do choose some things I want to work on, and I try to improve in those areas in my life. Even if I don't lose 25 pounds, if I am lighter and healthier than the year before, that is an accomplishment.Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.com
