New This Year

I saw a post on Facebook asking "What can you do today that you couldn't do 12 months ago?" and because it was posted by an athletic company I follow, I immediately thought, "well, I think I was in better shape 1 year ago than I am today." But then, I realized there's so much more to me than just my athletic abilities. So, here's a quick list of the things I can do today that I couldn't do 12 months ago:

Spend all day with one of my oldest friends 

At the Puyallup Fair with Mandi in Sept.
There have been many similar days since :)

Eat donuts without guilt or a follow up punishment workout

Bless the lady who gave us 10
but only charged us for 6!

Hug and kiss my mom each night before I go to bed
Have confidence that my nephew will recognize me when he sees me

Auntie Bugaboo is always trying
to steal kisses!

Trust in God's timing and His plan even though it seems like mass chaos at the moment
Spend time alone without going crazy
Recite several of my favorite Bible verse from memory

Galatians 2:20

Wake up with joy no matter the day's circumstances
Recommend an amazing YA trilogy that involves werewolves
Write a Sumner, WA address on return labels

Because this is beautiful and who wouldn't
want to live here?!

Have confidence in the decisions I make
Park outside and not worry about my car being buried by snow or a snowplow

Because who wants to live like this?!
Not this girl!

Make a mean BBQ chicken cauliflower crust pizza
See grandparents pretty much whenever I want




And that's just off the top of my head...

What can you do now that you couldn't do 12 months ago?
