Ahhhh... January, or as I like to call it, the month of unattainable yearly goal planning... Which I have been just as guilty of in the past. So, this year I didn't resolve to lose one zillion pounds, become a brain surgeon, rescue a third world country, or to make one miillllion dollars. I know, I am being facetious, but let's be honest, most resolutions are broken within the first few weeks of January no matter how small they are.

When I was at home, a few days before New Year's Eve, and was contemplating making my annual list of things I wanted to do in the new year, to better myself (but knew I wouldn't) a blog of a high school friend I often visit came to mind. First of all this woman is amazing, her husband is in the military and they have four small children. She is often " alone" raising them while her hubby is deployed. I use "alone" in quotes because she is never alone, she surrounds herself with amazing friends and family. However, she is always organizing something to help some out! So as I was sitting there thinking about what I was going to do to better myself this year, my blog friend popped into my mind.

She does a monthly challenge on her blog for those who show some random act of kindness. BRILLIANT she is, because what person doesn't need to be encouraged to do more of that?
She picks a winner every month, blogs about what they have done, and sends a little hand-made gift to them. AMAZING WOMAN!!!

I would love to do a challenge for ALL (hee, hee, hee) my followers but I run into many road blocks at this point. Because I am not the most "Tech Savvy" person, I am not sure if I have any followers? and I am not sure if there are many out there who even visit my blog??? So maybe one day I'll get it figured out and begin a challenge (hey there's one for next years resolution:))

So this is it my "NEW YEAR RESOLUTION"

"the more you give, the more you live"

That's it! One thing! Resolutions are all about bettering yourself right? So what better way to do that then to serve others. I resolve this year to do random acts of kindness whenever and wherever possible. At least one every month, which I will blog about, and even have Hunter get involved in...

What comes around goes around... I can't DO everything, but I can DO something...

Happy New Year Everone!!!
