Beginning Anew

I must say I have done a lot of blogging but I have been doing more private blogging. I decided this year to make my blogging more of a journal. I spend too much time on the computer and not enough time doing the things I know I should be doing ie. spending time with my kids, writing in my journal, seeking knowledge out of the best books, etc... I know these things are more important than some of the other things I have been doing with my time. I must admit I have been more idle than I should be. With the new year I have resolved to spend more quality time with my kids and husband, doing what they want to do, or talking about what they want to talk about. With that resolve comes capturing those moments on paper (or a blog) in my case. So I began a blog called moment by moment to daily write those things that I do with my children or those things that I learn from my children and husband. Another goal that I am beginning again is to keep a journal of those things I learn from the lessons i teach in Sunday School. I did it for the entire year of the New Testament and for the first half of the year of the book of mormon and then I allowed other things to take the place of the time I was setting aside for doing this. so I started a blog called peace of mind. I made theses blogs private but if you are interested in reading them I can invite you just let me know. My family is so important to me and I don't want my selfish desires to get in the way of teaching them and learning from them. I figure I have only a few years until they want to be with their friends more than me and if I don't become their friend now I will have a more difficult time keeping them as friends later. So most likely this blog will be kept up once or twice a month so that I can keep my other blogs up to date daily and weekly. I am sure every now and then I'll need to get my thoughts out on paper and this will be the venue for that. And of course I'll keep this posted with pictures of special events in our family. Upcoming Events are Alex's 8th birthday and his baptism. i will be posting an invitation to that special event for anyone who would like to attend. Until then begin anew with your New Year's Resolutions. Resolve to make changes- work hard at them- become a better you!
