Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I get so focused on the minute little details of life that I totally lose sight of the big picture. I become so focused inwardly that I don't look OUT. I forget to pray, I forget to focus on the Lord, I forget to be thankful, and then I become really depressed and stressed. Such a seemingly simple thing as counting my blessings has such a huge impact on my life. It makes all the frustrations and irritations totally worth it. It reminds me why I keep plugging along with my life, even when I'm so tired. It helps me to keep trying to mature and grow as a Christian, as an individual. It makes me want to keep trying to find the time to create, to express my inner spirit. Gratitude to God for my life and everything in it (especially for the glorious life to come) makes this life magical and happy and I have to stay focused on THAT.
With that in mind, I will work on my goals for 2013 (which, for those of you who know me, are usually comprehensive and abundant). I will try to be very specific and more narrow in scope this year. I really want to accomplish a change in habits more than anything, which should serve me the rest of my life if I can make them stick this year. Please keep me in your prayers as I work on my list! I will post after I solidify my resolutions.
