Hope

With January almost gone I am finally getting around to posting on my blog again.  Every year i spend so much time editing the Blog Book for the previous year and wonder if I should have spent my time on other things, like decluttering the storage room.  What I have come to know about myself is that until I finish documenting our life for the past year I can't move forward with other things.  I feel stuck.  So now the book is ordered, I HOPE I can accomplish all of the tasks I have put off for a month. 


1.i hope I can get the laundry done--all at the same time
2.i hope we can find a job out west
3.i hope i can clean out all the closets
4.i hope i can return the unwanted Christmas gifts
5.i hope i can change the oil in my car
6.i hope that i can write on my blog
7.i hope i can plan new beginnings
8.i hope i can write my sunday lesson
9.i hope that the ceiling won't rain again (more on that later if number 6 happens)
10. i hope i can cook amazing meals for the fam
11. i hope i can stay attractive to my husband
12. i hope my kids think i'm a fun mom, not just a slave driver
13. i hope i can exercise more so i feel happy and alive
14. i hope i can endure the dog and clean up all the poop on the front lawn
15. i hope i can read more
16. i hope i can play the piano more
17. i hope i can study for the GRE

Hope is a beautiful word, because it doesn't mean it all will actually happen or that it has to, just that it might.
