I want to walk one mile every single day.  If I miss a day, I&#8217;ll have to make it up sometime in the week, so I&#8217;ll get in 7 miles over the week.<\/p>\n<p>Since I will turn 40 in the next year (and I&#8217;m officially inviting you all to my non surprise birthday party on December 29 (it&#8217;s a Saturday).  More on that in the future, but go ahead and put it on your calendar now.  but I digress.  I was actually going to put down my goal to lose 40 pounds by my 40 b-day.  <\/p>\n<p>Kindness.  I want to do more random acts of kindness.  Like take someone a meal even if they aren&#8217;t sick or didn&#8217;t just have a baby.  Or give away tickets and things (oh, I already do that, so I guess I can just do more).  I also want to be kinder to my children and husband.  I love them dearly, but sometimes I forget to tell them how much they mean to me.  Same goes for friends.  I think I need to express my love and my gratitude more, and use a softer voice with the kids.<\/p>\n<p>Temple Service.  12 visits to the temple this year.  I would say once a month, but I may just feel like going 3 times in one month, and I know there will be months I don&#8217;t go, so I&#8217;m just going to say 12 in the year.  I&#8217;ll mark them off to keep track.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to win another big prize this year, along with some cash.  That&#8217;s entirely up to me, and I&#8217;ll be trying hard on that one, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Social&#8211;we need to invite someone over for dinner at least once a month.  We did pretty good on this one last year, but I think we can continue to improve.<\/p>\n<p>There you have it.  Goals for the year 2007.  And a partridge in a pear tree.<br \/>\nAmen.<br \/>\nAnd, what are your goals for the year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year!
