Today is the First Day of the Rest of My Life!

Today I turned 51.  It's crazy because I don't feel that old, until I look in the mirror.   That being said, I've decided that I want to set some goals and see if I can a year from now read this and know that I have grown.

I think my first goal is something that I've been thinking about a lot lately.  I want to find out what my Spiritual gifts are so that I can improve them.  So that I can become closer to my Savior by showing my gratitude by using them to help myself and others come to know Him better.

My second goal is that I want to make this the healthiest year of my life.  I am going off processed foods as well as those with added sugar.  I am also going off dairy, and grains.  Hopefully this will also help in getting my Celiac Disease under control.

Third, I want to do simple acts of kindness for others without their knowledge.  I want to serve and not have it be known.  I think this always helps to keep my mind on others and off of my own problems.  I have struggled, even this Summer with depression and I am hoping that this helps.

And I guess my final goal is one that I've been trying to do already for about 2 months and that is that I want to continue going to the Temple at least once a week.  I find my balance there and know that my family is blessed for this service.  It has helped my focus more on my relationship with my Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ.   It is one place that I am able to truly find peace.

So hopefully this time next year I can look back and know that I have grown in these things.  That I have accomplished these things that are so important to me.

Look out world, this old lady is on the move!!
