Resolutions?

This year I am stumped. . .

I could usually think up a pretty good resolution by now.

Problem is that everything will happen

whether I want it to or not,

which I do.

Jeff will come home.

Mike, my best friend, will come home.

I thought about running the marathon again,

but that one just seems too easy.

It was my resolution last year. . . 

Remember?

I was still new to the blogging scene,

new to this blog,

almost a year through Jeff's mission.

He comes home next month.

I guess I could make a resolution to not freak out.

I'm more calm since his last letter

Like always

and forever

Elder Gibson calms me down,

lets me be content,

slows the world down for me,

and he doesn't even have to be

face to face

to do it.

I think I will make a New Year's resolution to be more like that.

I'll try to reach out

without being asked

and try to be more aware of others feelings.

I'll try to make others lives easier,

more joyful,

and I'll try my best to be a positive influence.

Wish me luck. . .
