I can’t believe it is the last day of 2007. Wow. This year has gone so quickly, but it’s been a wonderful year! There have been many great moments and I honestly have so many things to be thankful for.

Tomorrow is the start of a new year. I don’t like traditional New Year’s Resolutions, but I always set myself goals. I try to make the most of the “new beginning” and decide on a few goals for myself.
I usually set myself personal goals (attitudes/behaviours, my relationships with others), spiritual goals (my relationship with God, church Ministry), career goals, physical goals (eating well, exercise, staying healthy), creative goals (scrapbooking, music, art), home/family goals (marriage, kids, home improvements, finances).
They are not “resolutions” because those are always so hard to keep. Instead, they are goals or “intentions”. In my opinion, it’s good to have something to work towards, to focus on, to strive for. And if I slip up, I haven’t failed. It’s just a reminder that I need to reassess things and then get back on track. As long as I’ve made progress by this time next year, I’ll be happy!

I love this quote:

It’s Up To You
If you think you’re a winner you’ll win,
If you dare to step out you’ll succeed.
Believe in your heart, have a purpose to start,
Aim to help fellow man in his need.
Thoughts of faith must replace every doubt,
Words of courage and you cannot fail.
If you stumble and fall, rise and stand ten feet tall,
You determine the course that you sail.

Here’s to a fantastic 2008 for us all!!
