New Year. New Resolutions

Don't ask me to tell you what my resolutions last year were because I have absolutely no idea. I have been thinking about resolutions a lot this year though and I think I have some really good ones that will make me a better person and I think will make me happier. (Not that I'm UNhappy, but really, don't we all want to be happier?) So, without going into the deep, dark psyche that is my brain, I will give you the condensed, and public version of my goals. P.S. I always do them in categories.

1. Personal--keep my room clean (this might be my hardest goal)
2. Spiritual--take more time to build my faith in and relationship with God (I'm pretty sure this one might actually be the key to helping me be happier.)
3. Physical--less baking more healthy cooking (and this will do miraculous things to my waistline. Actually, doing the splits is also under this category too.)
4. Intellectual--read 4 books a month (one has to be non-fiction)
5. Social--start a book group (so I like reading... and I'm thinking a Saturday morning tea would be really fun)
6. Financial--increase knowledge about fancy accounts and use them (should have taken basic finance in college...)
7. Family relations--talk to my family more (if I had done that last year, I wouldn't have been surprised with an impromptu ski trip. I would have known it was planned in advance.)

I also just ordered the Liahona in Polish, I think that is intellectual, spiritual and maybe a little physical all rolled in one.

(Yes, I know the picture of my cute dog Ellie has nothing to do with my resolutions. But I wanted a picture and this was sent to us from our family friend who took pictures at our house during the Rose Bowl. Isn't she pretty? Well, I guess you'd only think she was cute if you liked animals. I know there are animal haters out there... cough, cough, Chelsea...)
