Okay seriously I didn't realize how hard it is to think of 53 things that I want to do. I know some turned out to be goals I had already started in Janruary but I need to work on them more. I read my blog often to see where I am on my goals, so now I can see what I want to accomplish in the next year. I think we as people don't feel we deserve to do the things we like. Most of us spend more time doing for other's than ourselves, It is okay if we are happy too. If I accomplish at least 25 of these I will be happier and smiling more and laughing. So maybe it was good that I had to think about what I wanted this year. Love all my family and friends, but most of all I love my Father in Heaven and the many blessings he has given me. I have had some challenges this past couple of weeks but thanks to a few friends and their continous love for me I know that I am loved and it will soon pass. Love you Stacee and Tara.
