Pensive Sky

There is a line to a song by Switchfoot that I ponder often:  "This is your life.  Are you who you want to be?"  I can't honestly answer this question with yes.  Yet I am so blessed in this life.  God has provided me with so much and yet I still find myself longing for something more.  I can't seem to be content with the way things are in the present, I'm always looking ahead for something better.  I love the new year for a chance at a fresh start.  I suppose any day of the year can be a new beginning but this is definitely the case with a new year.  I have a laundry list of resolutions this year.  For the most part I don't like to list them out because I'm so afraid of failure.  Yet there is something about keeping a list of your goals that keeps them fresh in your mind so they don't get lost by the wayside.  This year in twenty ten, I would like to: take a real vacation, cook more, bake bread, get to work on time, read through the Bible, keep my house clean, start a blog, get fit, walk my dog, become a member of a church, play my guitar, prepare for motherhood, make a friend, walk to work, renovate my house, landscape my yard, plant an herb garden, find my faith again...

This is going to be a good year.
