I don’t really make resolutions and I don’t always have goals but what I do make is lists, and this list is the things I want to make happen in 2019 and focus on. Of course, there is a list of projects a mile long that I want to complete especially some organizing and new features in the house as well as a blog make-over but this list with explanations is more from the heart.
“9” of them of course with a Bonus being my WORD of the year.
Crazy how that got to be such a thing.

“9” of them of course with a Bonus being my WORD of the year.
Crazy how that got to be such a thing.
1. Not to let distractions steal precious moments
I want to be more present, not let things distract me from the little things I love.
2. Take my husband’s breath away
I know he will say this happens a lot, but what I mean by this is you must nurture your marriage and continue to keep it happy and strong. Sometimes I just wanna walk in a room, and see on his face that I’m taking his breath away.
3. When we eat out, try new restaurants
We tend to eat at the same places over and over yet on vacation we make a pact to eat somewhere new and no chain restaurants. I want to continue that the whole year through!
4. Not to dwell on things we simply cannot change
Face it, they’re going to be situations we can’t change. Sometimes, the way people feel about us or judge us are not going to change no matter what we do. Let’s not worry about what things we cannot change but rather just continue to keep on being ourselves.
5. Continue to compliment others daily
I pride myself in complimenting people and mean it from the heart. I know how proud it makes me when someone compliments me on something and I just want others to feel that same way!
6. Hugs, more hugs for my friends and family
Let’s face it, everyone needs hugs!
7. Walk an extra lap at the track, do an extra few crunches, 5 more minutes on the stepper
I’m not going to go crazy and say I want to lose X number of pounds or list out my fitness goals. I just simply want to work a little harder whether that means an extra lap or a few more crutches or those extra minutes on the stepper, just push myself a little bit.
8. Eat less Sugar! However still enjoy a favorite treat from time to time
Ok, let’s get real about a couple things. One, I absolutely ate too much sugar over the holidays. Two, sugar is terrible for you and should definitely be eaten in moderation, if at all. Three, lets’ be realistic, I cannot completely cut sugar out of my diet and if I want to have a sweet treat, I will have a sweet treat just not 10 sweet treats. However, I will use my willpower not to over indulge because I want my body to feel good with the things I’m putting into it.
9. Be Genuine in all I say and do. I don’t want to say I like something if I truly don’t.
I like to interact and comment with a lot of people. I thrive on it. But I’m not gonna lie to people, I’m not gonna make a comment about something I love if I don’t really love it. But with every human being, we can find something nice to say, we just have to be genuine and from the heart.
BONUS: My word of the year.....ready for it?
INTENTIONAL
I want to be intentional in all I do and not settle for anything. When I’m in the moment, I want to be intentionally in the moment and not let distractions take me away from the joys of life! I want to be intentional when I make plans for things, only say yes to things that make me happy. I want to be intentional in the food I buy and prepare healthier meals for my family with less fats & sugar. I want to be intentional about the things I put into my body and how I exercise to make me feel at my best. No aimless living life, but intentional each and every day with gusto!
AND I want to be intentional my purchases, clothing, home and for my family. If I don't love it or the price....it's a definite no go! But this new top ($15.99) I had to share, It is another Amazon goodie and can be dressed up or down. One thing I know I love in clothing is details and the details on this top are precious! And of course I am wearing the heck out of the tulip hem jeans.
AND last but not least, I want to continue to support my Sisters in Blogging. So today won't you please hop over and check out some other ladies sharing their WORD of 2019!
