These are my goals for this year of 2010. I'm writing them here to help keep me accountable and perhaps y'all will pray for me too?

4. Pearl

-keep to wheat-free diet, look into reintroducing dairy as per Dr's timeline.
5. Home

6. Other
-plan better Date Nights with DH; need some fresh ideas
-wanting to be a better friend; be more available for relationships; affirming the need for solid womanly relationships and support in my life.
Also thinking about what Rachel's post at Faith and Family Live: What's the Word?, I keep coming back to two words:
Joy and Anew
Joy because it's what I want for myself everyday. I strive to be joyful. As someone who tends to dwell on things and leans more towards thinking the worst...(Gosh, I hate that), I need more joy in my life. I need to BE joy in my life. I want to be joy for others; I want to be joy for God.
Anew... I don't know what not just New... but I like what I see at Dictionary.com
1. over again; again; once more: to play the tune anew.
2. in a new form or manner: to write the story anew.
In a new way. Definitely. I see change as a good thing. It's hard and it hurts, but dear Lord transform my heart; make it ever anew, so it longs more fully for yours.
