Happy New Year

There are lots of 2010 reflection posts out there today so I thought I'd join in too. Here's what I learned this past year:


I love, love, love being a mom. I know that sounds ridiculous saying that now since I've been a mom for 10 years, but the truth is, it's had it's challenges. But now I see those challenges as blessings.


The most important thing to me, besides my relationship with the Lord, is my family, including my extended family.


To be honest in the nicest way I can. 


To show my husband, my boys, and others the love of Jesus through my thoughts, actions, and words.


My joy doesn't come from "stuff" but from the love of Jesus.


How to have long life friends.


To treasure relationships I have, and to invest my time into them.


I can't juggle too many relationships or someone or something suffers and that's not fair to anyone.


It's ok if the house isn't always perfect, neat, and tidy! 


The laundry can always be done tomorrow.


To play with my kids, instead of clean.


Spending time together with people you love is a WAY better gift than any material thing.


There is more, but that's all I have for now....here's to a happy New Year and to many blessings in 2011!
