I do this every year: my pre-Birthday post

Two years ago it was a quest to have the most perfect day all to myself

Last year was a strive to have better relationships

This year.....fingers tapping....hmmm, off the top of my head, I just want to be better.

I want to be a better cook.

I want to be a better housekeeper.

I want to be a better homemaker.

I want to be a better mom.

I want to be a better wife.

I want to be a better friend.

I want to be a better pastor's wife. (Lord help us all, we know I am not good at that.)

I want to be a better LMNOP person.

I want to be a better listener.

I want to be a better encourager.

I want to be a better corresponder.

I want to be a better keeping the car cleaned out person.

I want to be a better organizer.

I want to be a better reader.

I want to be a better writer.

Am I horrible in all these areas? Heck no!

Am I great in all these areas? Heck no!

Will I ever meet my own standards? Heck no!

Will I write a post like this next year a few weeks before my birthday? Heck yes!

This is who I am. No sense in denying it!
