I spent today thinking about the new year and the goals I want to set and the changes I want to work on.  Mike and I have already committed to do the Honolulu Marathon in December, 2013 as a fundraiser for Youth for Christ.  We finished it in 2004, but this year we want to improve on our time.  More than that we want to continue our fitness beyond the marathon.  We have a training schedule in place ready to start Jan 1.

• My December Daily journal entry will be about thinking about my goals and aspirations for 2013.  I usually make a list of things I want to accomplish and I will do that, but I want the year to be spent thinking more intentionally about the people in my life.  I want to be a better wife, daughter, aunt, sister and friend.  I want to be a better caretaker of the things in my life God has blessed me with.
• Today’s photo challenge:  “favorite thing”. For me, it’s a house full of dogs.

Until tomorrow,
