If you've shown some of the world's wonder to your children this coming year, you've accomplished something wonderful! All those other goals you mention I think make it more possible to see the wonder of God's world in many different ways or to exhibit even in ourselves the wonder. Certainly, this is an inspiring set of hopes for 2013! <3megarberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01098114742239269218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557057168080905698.post-21824728632539785552013-01-03T18:14:12.739-06:002013-01-03T18:14:12.739-06:00You CAN do as much of this as your heart wishes!

And as for you writing, I will be so, so, so excited to read anything you write. You do it so beautifully.<br /><br />If I may humbly offer advice about Les Miserables, though- I took a Victor Hugo course (recommended to me by Abi- thank you, Abi!) and even in that course we never did the unabridged version. I'd try to find a good-quality abridged version and go with that, unless you're really committed to reading the whole thing. Then again, you are reading War and Peace, so maybe you ARE that committed. : )Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404031218913039280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557057168080905698.post-922896708435347422013-01-03T14:35:11.748-06:002013-01-03T14:35:11.748-06:00What a great list for 2013.

I'm trying to get everything organized before going back to school on Monday since Baby's birthday could be any day now! The only other goal I have officially set is to call a friend or family member everyday. I am terrible at being in touch via the phone and figure it's a good way to build on relationships I may have let slide.

I highly recommend it. Your goals are so inspiring -- even the household-related ones. Mine seem to be floating around in my head in an unorganized fashion.

I occasionally make goals myself, but am hesitant to tell others what they are...they might remember and hold me accountable. ;~)Kathy Stegallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189338901356118801noreply@blogger.com
