Done Better 2015: Disclaimer – None of these are perfected and nor do I expect to in this lifetime.  I just do better (sometimes) when I know better

1. More communication with Aub – okay she deserves the credit for this one – but we catch up every Sunday night and it’s truly priceless talk time.

2. I can bite my tongue more often than not while weighing the pros and cons of what I really want to say. 

3. Patience is improving….I’m pretty sure.

4. Successfully conquered getting the statistics/Logic monkey off my back! (And just for the record looking back on it: it was harder than running a marathon).

5. Understand more about Addiction (my other class last semester) than I ever wanted to know and realize it affects everyone!

6. 1. Meditate – 2. Sleep 8 hours (working on that one) – 3. Exercise (Logic crowded out a lot of my exercise last semester & I renewed my belief it’s absolutely necessary especially if I eat like I am exercising) – 4. Eat the Rainbow! In that order…

7. The more I see of the world and the people, while facing difficult and joyful situations, the more sure I am Heavenly Father loves me. This is probably one of the handful of things I do know for sure.

8. I understand how little I really know and it makes me very hungry to know more, see more, experience more – as there is an infinite abundance.

I have to look up a lot of words while reading and my dictionary app keeps a running list. here’s just a few of them:

9. Realized I can’t be all things to all people all the time and just hope those love banks don’t go bankrupt before I make more deposits – including my own.

10. Find ways to appreciate and rename some of my idiosyncrasies – ie.. humor (aka sarcasm) and discernment (aka self protective mechanism)

My friend Mindy had me come up with a mantra word for the upcoming year.  Mine is:

NOURISH – spirit, mind, body and relationships

Here’s to nourishing all things – learning more, experiencing more, seeing more and filling up love, friendship and good karma banks in 2016!
