Who I want to be

During a lovely New Year's Eve dinner with family last night, the subject came up of New Year's Resolutions.

I shared a thought that was not original but borrowed from a wise young woman I admire professionally. She told me a mentor of hers advocates creating "to be" lists instead of "to do" lists. The idea is to envision the person you want to be and list the attributes important to that vision. I'm still working on identifying all the attributes, but among them will be:
  1. Faith-filled
  2. Grateful
  3. Happy
  4. Healthy

If I can keep my to-be list in front of me and do my best to live up to its aspirations, it should be a pretty good year.
