2009 New Year Resolution Review

I am teaching a lesson about setting goals to my young women tomorrow and thought it would be fitting to review my 2009 New Year Resolutions. In case you can't remember here they are followed by my report of how I did.

• Read the Ensign every month So, I read the Ensign every month until we moved and then I was a bit spotty. Our subscription ran out in November and I found it weird to read online. I'm getting better though. So, not a total failure.
• Be a better friend / listener I've tried to be more mindful of others and remember small details about conversations and my friends preferences. I think this one was a success.
  
• Have a house that is visitor ready all the time I have actually done pretty good at this one. Calder loves to help clean and I've learned to let a few things go. I think this was a great success.
  
• Lose 10 lbs. (would it be a resolution list without this one?) Yep. Done.
  
• Read to Calder every day I did this one too!
  
• Get back to doing creative things regularly I feel like I did this. Once Calder started sleeping longer it was a lot easier to start creative projects.
  
• Wear makeup more often Yes! Thank you all for your makeup remover tips. I'm glad I'm not alone. I have been doing better at this one and I feel good about it.
  
• Find a fabulous pair of jeans to replace my favorite ones that are falling apart I have found a few pairs of jeans that I really love. This one was probably the hardest one. My weight has changed so much this year and all of my old favorites are now too big. I'm not complaining. There are much worse problems to have. I've actually started wearing more slacks instead of jeans and I really like it. I feel like they are just as comfortable but look a little dressier.
  

Look for my 2010 New Year Resolutions in the next few weeks!
