What? I still have a blog?
I know, it's been since November!
Anyhoo!
I wanted to go over my goals that I set for 2009 and see what actually happened.
1. More organized.
Well, probably. I went through my shed and threw away a bunch of junk. I also have one day a week where my house is totally clean...something to do with a therapist showing up, but still, it's a start. I didn't have the party at the end of the year that I wanted to to celebrate my new organizational skills.
2.Physically healthier.
Nope. Actually much worse. Not entirely my fault, though. MS sucks.
3.Better cook
Do the tamales that I learned to make for Christmas count? My FIL (who is incredibly difficult to please with food...he doesn't like anything else that I make) actually liked them and said that I am now in charge of the tamales from now on. That's probably because he's worried that I would make anything else....
4. Better photographer.
Nope, but I have been distracted. Losing sight (not to mention a bout of paralysis) for a while does that to you.
5. Be more edifying to others.
I don't know how measurable that is. I hope that God has worked on me in this area, but I don't think that I actually could tell if I achieved that goal or not. Still, any progress toward that goal is not my doing, it's His.
Well, that's 2009. Who says new year's resolutions don't work?
Here are my 2010 goals:
1. Listen better. To God, my husband, my kids, my friends...everyone. I just want to be a better listener and lose the endless talking thing. Not incredibly measurable, but it's a goal none the less.
2. Even more organized. I'm going to get there! I am determined! If that means that I add a day of organization per year, in 6 years, I'll be set!
3. Feel better. This means figuring out how my body reacts to things better, and keeping myself out of MS relapse. Not that that is completely controllable, but there are things that I can do to lower my chances. It also means trying to figure out how to get back to a exercise routine within my limitations...I have to know those limits better, too....
Ok, that's it. Just 3 goals this year. Think I can do it?

Yes, the MS thing started in '09. It started with partial blindness for a time, then my second relapse came only a month later when I was paralyzed on my left side. It's been a battle, but I'm hoping that this year I will begin to take back my life.
I need to apologize...I'm very absent minded, it appears. I do remember you talking about MS...I just thought I was reading a different blog. A friend from church has a very similar looking blog to yours. Now that I have realized my error, I'm off to reread your post with you in mind!
I'll be praying for you as you adapt to this new lifestyle.
