2010 - A New Year/New Beginning

Here we are January 1, 2010 - is that twenty ten or two thousand and ten? I have heard both in the past 10 days and know that I will soon decide for myself which way I will say the new year.
Every year at this time people make resolutions to try and make changes in their lives both personally, professionally and even healthy or medical. Which did you make? We hear this through the media as well. I sometimes wonder why we proclaim to make one resolution knowing that we might not achieve our goal. But is the reason to make it - a reason to fail. If were not happy about something in our lives then if we make a decision to change it, we should work harder to achieve the goal?
I know that 2009 brought both Jack and I some medically challenging times; some excitement and achievement in personal development; goals for reaching marital pinnacle that we might not of thought ever possible; and the best was receiving God's greatest gifts - son-in-laws and grandchildren.
But once again we have to do self examination for setting goals for ourselves on a personal, career and couple basis. What do we want to change in each of these areas to make us better people? Where do we see ourselves when (twenty ten) 2010 comes to an end and we ask ourselves if we reached everyone of our goals? I know that after becoming a Grandmother has made me want to be a better woman in showing my daughters and grandchildren a new "godly way of life" and to have a belief even stronger than I had in 2009. I want to read the bible more and know more about women in the bible -something that I have thought about for quite sometime. I want more for my job and be a better employee (especially in these times of uncertainty). I also want a better marriage and work on the areas that I know I can improve on to make myself a better wife. I want to be able to help Jack become a better husband; also help him in having a better career and doing what he is passionate about; I want to have both of us continue with our health plan and be more conscientious about what we eat and work out more.
So, that is how (twenty ten) 2010 looks for me - did you make your New Year plan and can you say that you hope to make it to December 2010 and mark off your list as being completed; I know that I hope to be able to do this. Happy New Year my friends and good luck with your plan.
