This year our family decided not to make new year resolutions. Allen had read somewhere about choosing three words and working on those during the year instead of resolutions. We talked about it and decided to try it out and we decided to pick four words each. I will not tell you my words but you may think it is easy to pick four words but it took me several days to decide on them. Allen Jr. and Makaela even have their words picked out and we are working on them each day. I will use Allen Jr.'s words for my example, he won't mind. The words are: Shake, Learn, Help, Calm. He is going to "learn" new skills this year, Allen is going to "shake" hands with people instead of hugging them. He is going to "help" around the house more and be "calm." Now if he/we can accomplish that this year then we have done a lot. LOL He is trying and doing good so far, but then we are only in the first few weeks of the year.
Happy New Year!!!
Cute idea!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Allen
I also think that's a neat idea. I will try to remember to shake. . .but I won't resist a hug since I know he loves people a lot.
ReplyDeleteI guess whatever your "words" were, we'll probably notice in your actions. . .attitudes
as the year goes by. . .if it goes well.
I like the way your blog looks.
Good idea :o) I think I shall try to relax, trust, obey, and advance ;o)
ReplyDeleteThank you all. I will tell Allen you liked his idea.
ReplyDeleteKaren - We don't mind him giving people hugs, just not everyone all the time. We are trying to teach him boundaries, of course, we have been working on limiting "hugs" since he was little so I don't know how good we will be at this. LoL
Davita- good words.
