What ever will the New Year bring...

Here we are---the 1st week of the new year is winding down.  Winter break will soon be over and we can finally get back into a routine.  I have spent a lot of time the past couple of weeks re-evaluating my "routine".  So many things become routine and for the most part it is a good thing.  Some other "rountine" things...not so much. I have a good feeling about this year.  My BIG question is if I can REALLY change the way I think.  I am trying hard---with having the same mind-set for 41 years this won't be an easy task.  Our thoughts say a lot about us.  I need to start being a more positive person-think like a positive person-or LEARN how to fake it.  I need to look on the bright side of things...I need to THINK differently.  I think if I can THINK differently then all of the other "resolutions" I have will fall into place.  I also want to eat healthier and make better choices when it comes to food and take better care of myself.   I want relax more and worry less-this scriptures will be my mantra:

 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5 NIV). Why is trusting in God good for your health? Because when you trust him, you don’t worry.

Psalm 116:7 says, “I said to myself, ‘Relax, because the LORD is going to take care of you" If you really trust in God, you’re going to be less stressed.

I do have choices-

•  I can either worry or worship
•  I can either pray or panic

The more I pray, the less I’ll panic.

Sounds good to me!  Now the hard part...turning these ideals into thoughts into actions.
