This year, though, I've been struggling with developing some good goals. Mostly because this is a year of exciting changes for our family. And exciting change = lots of unknowns. We're for sure going to be having a baby and MacGyver will have a new job. He'll be graduating this summer, and staying at his current job won't really be a viable option. And those are just the for-sures. Life is super great about throwing random events in, too.
With those two huge changes, there are lots of variables. So many things are 'up in the air' for us right now, I can hardly stand it. It's making planning really tough.
So I can't make a goal to have a fantastic organic garden, or to organize my house (done), or even make a serious business-related goal. I feel like anything that is at all dependent on location needs to be put on the back burner this year. That's seriously hard!
But then, I realized that one thing is constant in my life. It's these people:
No matter what, I will be a wife and a mother. No matter where we are living, or what type of income we are living on, I'm going to have my family. We are together for a very long time.
So my goal this year is just to be the best wife and mama possible. Let me tell you, I have room for drastic improvement. Life will probably get in the way sometimes, and I'm sure I'll lose sight of my goal from time to time. But I'm going to try to just be present for my family a little more, get down on the floor with my kids a little more often, and invest a little more time into my marriage.
What are your plans for 2011?
