I have this problem. When I get behind on stuff, I don't really bother trying to catch up. I usually just quit. Perhaps not the best solution, but hey, it takes a load of stress off.
Case and point- my blog. Christmas break came, there were lots of fun things going on, lots of picture taking, much too busy to blog. Then came the sickness, which also provided a lot of words to blog on, but no energy to do it.
I got hired for a job, and wrestled with the idea of being a working mom. What do I really want? What direction do I want my life to head in? I wasn't interested in blogging about it.
New Years Resolutions, I have also procrastinated on. I like to think that I don't make these decisions willy-nilly. I search, pray, and commit. I have resolutions. New life goals and plans... not just for this year, and some of these started before the entrance of 2012. Some of these things are kinda personal, some are more public than I might like. Lol. Here they are in basic form.
1) Know God more.
2) Love my husband more.
3) Speak only kind words to/about my man in front of my kids.(or at all, as it's working out! Lol) This means holding my tongue even when I am in the right, or have a right to be annoyed.)
4) Continue to love others in prayer and in action.
5) Through all of the above, teach my children a wonderful way of life, while guiding and providing for them, supporting, and releasing.
Oh yeah. And (although I hate to write it)
6) Finish writing my book.
This should definitely fill my plate, this year. I do love a challenge.
At least I've blogged again.
Maybe tomorrow I'll post some pics from our Christmas holidays. :)
Be blessed friends. What are your resolutions?

I didn't make any. How's that for quitting before getting started? LOL! I love your list though. It could totally be mine...and should be.
Hmm. . .resolutions. I haven't sat down and written any either, Char. If I give a few minutes thought, I think "trust God more" would be a good goal for my year. I need to trust God with my daughter's education. I need to trust God with our finances, as I go in the direction of self-employment. I need to trust God to keep us in good health (as we start getting older :). I also need to give more time God, so I can get His thoughts to push out my bad ones :) I have alot of excitement and anticipation when I think about this year, though I'm scared (in so many ways) of facing each new part of it. Praying through it will be another good plan to put in motion.
