New Years Resolutions: Honoring the Joy


I decided not to make New Year's Resolutions this
year, Lord knows I need to, but I will not follow through. I am just keeping it real here!

Instead, I think it would be more beneficial to me to make a Joy List. Sometimes, I get so bogged down with life, I forget to look for the joy. Along with my joy list I am going to set for myself realistic goals that I know I can accomplish.

So, think about your own joy list and what you would put on that list. Mine will be an ongoing process....stay tuned....


JOY LIST 2009
  1. Gifts of the Heart
  2. Having the freedom to choose
  3. Re finding oneself
  4. Knowing I am loved

  1. I think that's a great idea! So many people are so hard on themselves after they make unrealistic resolutions.
    Have a wonderful new year!

  3. I love this thought. I stopped making resolutions years ago, but I set a lot of happy goals. I don't worry too much when I don't make them.

  4. A joy list is a good idea. I never make resolutions anyway!

    I'm so happy to learn that your FIL went through his surgery so well. God is good.

  5. good idea !!! That would be good for all of us---and a"what am I thankful for" list----we all have things to be thankful for but forget them I think ---too often---we take a lot of things for granted.Glad to hear the good news about Jim--- will keep praying for him.

  7. Hello Suzanne...I don't know how I missed the post about your F-I-L's surgery, but probably because I've been down with a nasty cold & haven't been on the computer as much. Thanks to God for seeing him through this! I'm counting you as one of my joys this year!
    Happy New Year & hugs, ♥ Bo

  10. I'm so glad your f-i-l came through the surgery with flying colors. Will be praying for rehab to go just as well. I think a joy list is a great idea! Much better than making resolutions that are doomed before New Year's first week is finished! My joy list will be a lot longer than a resolution list! Hope you have a wonderful 2009. laurie

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it's like it fits into this empty space in your heart!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts here, they really mean a lot to me!

Suzanne
