My New Year’s Resolutions are getting stale. I feel the need
to liven them up a bit. Instead of my go to’s: work out more, be more
righteous/spiritual, learn something new, be a better mom/wife, save more
money, etc. I’m going
to mix it up in 2012. Not that those aren’t important things to do. Everyone
should strive to do those things, but I should already be doing them. I want to
resolve to do more than what I know I’m already supposed to be doing.
