I just got done reading the blog of a really amazing young woman in our ward. She has great perspective in life and in all that she does. It has caused me to re evaluate some basic things in my own life that have slipped again over the last 2 weeks. I am trying every so hard to re establish the patterns of daily prayer and daily scripture study and am realizing this has to go hand in hand with daily taking care of my self. I have to be focused in what I do during the day and in what I want to accomplish. Time is short and I want to do so very many things. I am realizing (in my middle years) that I matter. I have worth and I am good enough to do everything Heavenly Father wants me to do. So in that light. I re dedicate myself to daily scripture study...Study... not racing through the scriptures just trying to get done. Also to daily prayer. And with that, I am re dedicating myself to exercise, healthy eating and the lifestyle change that comes with it. It scares me death that I will fail...again. But if I fall, I can stand up again and get right back on the path. I am going to try some new things and am looking for the right time to go back to school (am i crazy?)
No unrealistic resolutions, just resolve to know that I am worth what I put into myself.

I am also going to try to really STUDY the scriptures this year. I found some great Study Journals online that I bought to help me get more out of studying. If you are interested here is the website. http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/shopping/
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!!
