It’s that time of year again. [Cue eye-roll] Resolutions. I know. Is it possible that I have abandoned more resolutions than I have actually made in my lifetime? It’s silly, but I’ve taken to setting goals instead of making resolutions. Lets face it, January is a very convenient time to assess progress and re-evaluate goals, and yes… even establish new goals for the coming year.
Of course I have my standards… eat well, exercise, finally drop those 15 lbs… blahbity, blah, blah. Who cares? Not you. I am sure. Honestly, I don’t even care.
There is one goal that I am especially devoted to this year. I think I found it at Quote the Walls for the first time, and I’ve been meaning to order it for months. Maybe one of these days I actually will. I know (almost) exactly where it will go- above the window in our family room (or on the wall between the kitchen and family room).
And that goal: Scatter Kindness. Did it bring up an image? It does for me. Every time I hear it. It is the motto I will try to live by, and as a family we will try to live by. Every day. Every moment. It’s more than being nice… it’s scattering kindness.
How about you? Tell me what goal you’ve set for this year…

Well, since I am part of the “we” in that family you mentioned, apparently I will be “Scattering Kindness” (cue eye roll again).
Honestly Meg, I think that whether you like to hear it or not, the reason that this resonates with you is that it epitomizes who you are and what you are about.
It is for that and many other reasons (nudge - nudge, wink-wink) that I am madly in love with you. ….and cue Megin’s eye roll.
