...In With the New! Good riddance, 2010! We're feeling guardedly optimistic that 2011 has great things in store for our family--there's nowhere to go but up!
 |
| Being the wild party animals that we are, we had a family New Year's Eve pizza party. |
 |
| After dinner, we got really crazy and made some homemade icecream! |
 |
| Well, it was more like "icecream soup," but the boys weren't complaining! |
 |
| Cheers! We toasted our sparkling cider to "miracles in 2011!" |
 |
| The night ended with the kids getting tucked into bed and Aaron and I cuddling up together to watch a movie. |
I've never been a big fan of New Years--the whole self-assessment and end-of-year evaluation always stresses me out. Nonetheless, I'm always up for setting new goals and, boy, do I have some new goals for 2011. Among other spiritual, physical, social, and financial goals, I have made the personal resolution to be done with guilt! Done! At the end of every day, I lay in bed and feel racked with guilt for what I didn't get done, for what I wish I had done differently, for not spending enough time with the kids, for not giving someone enough attention, etc. Certainly I can always stand to improve in these areas, and I will continue to work hard to meet all of my responsibilities/duties/expectations. But, I am done feeling guilty! All I can do is try my very best, and if that isn't enough--then I'm off the hook! Here's to trying my best...and forgetting the rest!
