MMm, I love the “live slower” resolution. This has been a goal for my family for a couple of years – we’ve found it takes an intentional, day by day approach to fulfill. It’s easy to be swept away in busy-ness. It’s funny that it takes effort to live simply, isn’t it?

Prayers and best wishes for 2009 to each of you.

Glad to be helpful. I just hate to see a good gym membership go to waste.

Thanks, everyone. Lots to think about here, but Janet, yours especially resonates with me.

I’ve added one more for myself: To be an encourager to mothers of younger children. I could have lived for a week on someone’s comment such as, “You’re doing a great job, and God will carry you through.”

I longed for that, and now I know it’s true, so I want to pass it on. That’s what fuels me to keep working on my book for moms and also the blog I’m doing. (www.awomansview.typepad.com)

I love your running entries and updates. Thanks. May your New Year be bright and beautiful!

Rachel,

You know, I’ve heard that gym membership cards are good for springing the lock on front door if you lose your key. Not sure what else you would use it for though.

I resolve to consult God before jumping into projects and events. There are many good things out there, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are good for me. And to decide on what type of Masters Program.

Thanks for those thought-provoking resolutions, Jeanne. I could relate to your childhood goals. Every year as a kid I had two goals: to read all the books in the library (not!), and to write a novel (sometimes managed this one).

I don’t like to make resolutions or even to resolve, because I know I’m a sitting duck.

That being said, I resolve to finish book three. Organization (thanks, Michelle)! Why didn’t I realize that after book two in a trilogy comes book three, not book one of another series? My publisher very kindly pointed this out. So I *will* finish book three, and then hey! Book four’s already done.

These are wonderful, thought-provoking resolutions, ladies! Thanks for sharing them. I posted “My Resolve” last week on The Master’s Artist. If you’re interested, you can read it here: http://tinyurl.com/9saabc
