I Resolve

in no particular order, to:
  1. Learn conversational Spanish. Enough to understand my mother's housekeeper since nobody else does. 
  2. Have personal scripture study 15 minutes per day during waking hours. Because scriptures do not help you when you are sleeping on them.
  3. Put our house on the market. This will mean a lot of work for us. But you will get the before-and-after pictures. Lucky you.
  4. Sacrifice More. Because I am selfish.
  5. Say "just a minute" only twice per day. 
  6. Spend more time on the floor with the girls. 15 minutes a day.
  7. Leave work by 4:30 every day. I start at 7:30. And I usually stay too late.
  8. Obey that voice that tells me to do good things. Even when they're awkward. Like picking up trash that I didn't litter. Or asking overwhelmed-looking strangers if they need help.
  9. To eat sweets on Sunday. And not any other day. [Because apparently cold-sores feed on sugar. And especially chocolate. Which means I will be eating about half of my habitual diet from now on.]
  10. To get muscles in my calves and arms. Because Brad has affectionately dubbed my current body type "tree-trunk-with-four-twigs-sticking-out." And I would prefer to be well-proportioned. Preferably while slimming down the "trunk" portion.
And that is enough. Because I am busy.
