the “you have to build a platform to be a writer” pressure,
I decided to git me some of those
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS.
but I will try to eat more meals,
I usually have only one good pair of jeans at a time,
and a few good shirts.
Ya’ know, the kind you actually want to wear in public?
While other women were dieting from shopping in 2010,
I made myself buy new clothes.
Those new clothes are no longer new.
I need to go a week in each season without doing laundry.
I hafta’ shop.
I just hafta’.
So, ya’ happy now?
I resolved some resolutions.
Happy New Year!
I am truly blessed and humbled that you would
use your valuable time to ready my blog.
I am blessed and humbled that you would take time to comment.
I’m even more blessed and humbled that many of you,
strangers in physical life but bloggy friends,
have prayed and inspired me through one of the hardest years of my life.
All joking aside,
I truly love and appreciate all of you.
And may this be the way you find happiness in your new year:
Proverbs 3:13
“Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding.”

I don't make resolutions either. They are depressing because I USUALLY NEVER (yes, I failed my Mom's Grammar class!) conquer the resolution. =/ However, if I was to TRY a resolution it would definitely have something to do with glorifying God with my life, actions, thoughts. THEN, if I was to try another it would be to be more patient. =/ I'm not very patient… at. all. =(I agree with you, I skip meals. I feed the mouthy kids but forget to eat. I also hate going to the bathroom… annoying waste of time!

I found your list VERY interesting, cause I always LOVE a good list. Your list bears no resemblence to a list I would make, except for the need to drink more water, but there's great fun in differences, isn't there?? I love your heart and I enjoy your blog which echos your heart. What a great time we're gonna have sharing 2012 in blogland!

I like your list too! I love to cook, though I wouldn't claim to be the world's greatest. Unfortunately I like eating far too much. And (MY shinge) I have to drink a lot of water AND go tinkle a LOT because I have shonky kidneys :-(My main commitment for 2012 ~ Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Love the list, although I'd gladly eat, drink, shop and tinkle for you–since I don't mind doing either. LOL.

MM, if we were neighbors, we could take care of each other's resolutions…Mine is to actually keep up with laundry…starting tomorrow (not today of course!). If you do all my laundry, I will cook healthy meals each and every night, and breakfasts on the weekends. DEAL? If only Alaska wasn't so far from you!

Happy New Year to you and yours Momma Mindy!I really do not have any of the same resolutions as you, I guess I'm a foodie who loves to shop and my drink of choice is always water. ;-)BUT I LOVED your Christmas wish list.. almost had to re-blog it on mine..
