2012, Here I Come!

I'm not one to set New Year's Resolutions.  But I do like to make goals.  And I like to copy my friend Nancy and choose a word for the year. 

My word for 2012 is 'Simple'.  I want to focus on the simple things in life.  It's the simple things that can bring us the most joy.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is simple.  Life can be simple.  If we let it be.  This word and it's meaning is reflected in the following goals I have for the year:

1. Build strong habits and routines with myself and my family in scripture study and prayer that will last a lifetime.

2. Spend more time in the temple.
3. Be more deliberate in the way I spend my time creating more quality time with those I love.

4. De-clutter my house, ridding my life of a lot of unnecessary stuff. I will purge my house one drawer/closet/cupboard/shelf at a time.

In an effort to document my efforts, motivate me, and hold me accountable for these goals, I'm going to keep a record on this blog.  I don't want to bog down my main page with these posts, so I'm creating a second page.  If you want to follow my progress you can, if not you can just ignore it. Simple!
