Have you ever seen the movie, "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin? There is a scene in that movie that always haunts me...when Steve Martin misses his daughter's bouquet toss and is trying to catch up to her as she leaves on her Honeymoon with her new husband. So many times I feel like I miss those big, life moments, too. Unfortunately, like so many moms, I am always so busy doing the "stuff" of life that I miss LIVING! Well, I am planning to make 2012 very different!
As a family, we welcomed in the new year by setting four goals each. All five of us set spiritual, physical, mental and social goals. It was amazing to hear the goals and action plans of my family! We decided that goals are so much more attainable than resolutions:). One of my goals is to affirm my family with a little notebook I write and place under their pillow. My friend, Jamie Jo, gave me this idea a while ago and I am finally putting it into action. My goal is to write a word (or words) of affirmation to each of my family members at least three times a week. I knew that if I decided to do this everyday, I would fall short, so I opted for a more reasonable plan. So far, so good! It is amazing how much more I see the incredible people in my life when I am looking for ways to encourage them:)!
So, watch for lots of photos of the Willis family working toward and achieving goals this year! Because we don't want to miss it!
