To be honest, I haven't given much thought to New Year goals for 2010. And really the only one that popped to my head immediately was practice writing 2010. It's been a little rough. I keep writing 20010.
But after a little thinking I've come up with some goals. My own "Be-attitudes":
1. Be on time. (sounds simple, but Father Time cursed me long ago with perpetual tardiness.)
2. Be simple. (i have a tendency to want everything extravagant and more complex than it needs to be.)
3. Be more charitable. (I posted on this for Christmas. It impacted me. When something really hits you, it's because you needed to hear it.)
"Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another's weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other." --Marvin J. Ashton
Hopefully, these goals are realized. We'll see. I'm most nervous about "Be on time." :{
I have many, many memories of my dad yelling through the house that if I wasn't in the car in one minute, I'd be left. Oh dad, you never left me though. Thanks for being charitable. Happy New Year!
