5 Wishes

I have all my posts lined up until Christmas and then I get tagged in another fun Christmas game. 

I'm not complaining because they're a lot of fun and a great ways to get to know others better. :)

Kera from Nugget on a Budget tagged me in 5 Wishes.

I have to make five wishes for the holiday season and tag five bloggers to participate. I've been thinking of things to be my 2013 goals, so this post should be pretty easy.

5 Wishes for 2013

1. Get Healthy I know that people say this all the time, but I REALLY do want to focus on getting healthy in the new year. I'm really disgusted with how I've let myself get recently. I need to focus on eating healthier and being more active. Plus, when we have children I want to establish healthy habits for them and I can't do that if I'm not healthy myself.

 

2. Manage my Time I'm bad to say that I don't have time for something, but in reality I waste too much time. I want to better manage my time in all aspects of my life. I need to do better on having a daily time spent in Bible reading and prayer. I need to work on having time to work out. I need to manage my time better at work so that I'm not stressed. I need to set a time limit on how much time I spend on the internet. I also need to set aside a specific time to spend with Lee each day. Even though we live together (obviously), it's very easy to simply cohabit the same space and not spend quality time together. 

3. Budget and Stick to It! I have to admit I'm terribly apathetic towards our budget. My husband makes a budget which I know nothing about what's on it. Money stresses me out. BUT...I need to get over that. In the next year, I want us to work out our budget together. Then, I want us to post it in our house so that it is a visual for me daily. As we spend money, we can make note of that on the budget sheet. When the money for the month is gone, it's gone! We have to work on not spending money that is not in our budget unless it's an emergency or something that can't be avoided.

4. Back to Basics Blogging As I've tried to grow my blog, I've lost a little bit of who I set out to be as a blogger. I will be posting more about this in the first of January, but basically I've gotten too wrapped up in all the link ups, blog hops, sponsorships, giveaways, etc and I've stopped just simply blogging about topics that interest me. When you start getting into all that, you also are going to have people disappoint you and possibly get into some drama. I'm not interested in drama. 

5. Anger Management People who don't know me well probably wouldn't believe that I have a temper. I had gotten it under control, but it has recently flared back up and it is not something I'm proud of. I need to pray for patience and self-control to help me curb my anger. Like with any bad habit, the ones who deal with it the most are the people who are closest to you.

 

What are you wishing for in the new year?
