Looking for a simpler 2008

You won't find any New Year's Resolutions here!! Let's just get that out there and on the table. Resolutions are fine for those of you who can actually keep them. As for me - resolutions tend to be short lived.
So, I decided to set myself some goals for 2008. Goals I can live with and possibly, actually, maybe achieve.

Here is the short list:

1. Clean out that front room that has served as storage for the past few years and make a beautiful sitting room.

2a. Clean out ALL the closets and give away (or otherwise get rid of) anything and everything that is not used, worn or in some other way useful.

2b. Get rid of everything that is not in use or hasn't been worn in the last year. (Even if it's not in a closet).

3. Drink more water - which really translates to Drink less Pepsi. Oh, how I love my Pepsi. Remember these are just goals - nothing is set in stone.

4. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. My doctor added this one. I don't remember asking him for imput on my blog post.

Like I said - these are goals - not resolutions. I give myself the entire year to work on these goals. I don't want to set myself up for failure.

I really love the idea of a new year - a clean slate - fresh, clean pages on a brand new calender just waiting for me to fill it in.
I love starting a new journal. There is so much to look forward to. God is so good to give us a fresh new year - just as He gives us a new day only on a bigger scale.

By the end of 2008, I hope to have a simpler way of living in place. I hope my home will be full of "less" and more focused on the really important things. With less things to distract me (us), there will be more room for God. That is what I REALLY want - MORE GOD.
Less stuff - More God. Sounds like a plan!!

Happy New Year!!
