2016 Resolutions

I'm morally opposed to resolutions.
Or at least I used to be.
Or at least that's what I used to tell people to express the enormity of how much I dislike(d) goal-setting, already anticipating the painful follow-up.

But I am a new woman, and actually have some things that I want to work on, so I'm taking the start of a new year as the moment to start my streak of successes and get back into good habits that I've been slacking on.

I, Lauren, am going to read in the scriptures EVERY DAY. I already did it today, and I am set on not missing a single day. So there it is, published online, for all three of you who will ready this to see! And I've already recruited mah boo-thang to do it with me, so I've got some back-up.

I also want to blog more (and write in my journal more). I haven't know what to write-- it's tough, figuring out what is or isn't too personal to share and just lance* into cyberspace. But I want to do it!

I want to do family history on Sundays.

I want to find (or organize) a regular service opportunity that I can participate in-- regularly!

And my last goal is to, every day, write down something I'm grateful for about that guy (the "boo-thang") that I mentioned earlier. Because I want to be a more grateful person, and to see the good things in my relationships with others, rather than taking people and the nice things that they do for granted.

Doing those few things will make me a better person. So here goes!
