So this week, real life starts again. Christmas decorations are taken down, New Year's resolutions have been made and hopefully the holiday goodies will disappear quickly too. With so much ahead of me and so much to do on my checklist, it is hard to figure out where to begin.
But every day I find little treasures of encouragement from my Heavenly Father that keep me going. Like this one from Christopher Robin to Pooh; "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. " I can't help but take this piece of encouragement to heart.
I love that although Pooh is a plump little guy, obsessed with honey, he still finds ways to be happy and embraces being his own self.
I'm thinking that the one big New Year's resolution that I am going to focus on is love myself better.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined!" -Henry David Thoreau
2012 is a new year. Full of opportunities to love, laugh and grow. Here we go!
