sew/quilt
make new recipes
de-junk
plan ahead more efficiently
keep in touch/rekindle old friendships
preparedness for emergencies
grocery shop
get into the habit of making my bed
not complain to Samuel
use the adobe programs
make the dishes magically do themselves

think lovely thoughts
well. we certainly enjoyed our holidays: samuel's birthday at the BYU basketball game, a magical christmas that seemed less "run around" this year, lots of preparations and planning for the new year's party that was really cute but only enjoyed halfway, checked off a few appointments including a visit to the doc for the annual check-up and a visit to the hair salon [bay was right-- I was overreacting about the bleach/highlighting incident], seeing wonderful friends who I don't get to see very often, two joyous weeks away from work, zoolights, temple square lights, a sleepover with lyv [complete with barbies and "paint polishing" our nails], the most delicious food I've had in a while, cleaning my house, and sleeping in.
and while december is a great time to be a third grade teacher, it is also a hard time. [bet you can guess why]. so it's nice to have a new start in january. and I already feel like I have more energy to create valuable learning experiences for my students. this is a happy thing-- because I was really on the verge of a burn out about three weeks ago. it's nice to reflect on why I do what I do every once in a while, just to keep myself in check.
it feels like I have many of the same goals this year as I set for myself last year:
exercise regularly
temple monthly
become a better teacher
travel to somewhere new
so I have tried to think of a few more specific things I'd like to accomplish:
plant a garden and keep it alive all summer
focus on having meaningful relationships with friends and family
tell samuel how much I appreciate him more frequently
make dinner at least 3 times a week; try new recipes
save up for something expensive
read some books I've never read before
help my students to love learning
happy new year to you and yours.
