The new year always provides a the perfect opportunity for a restart. Some people try to eat healthier, exercise more, talk to their family more often (all of which I would like to do this year). This year, the one thing that I am trying to focus on is organization. While watching my friend make hot buttered rum on New Years Eve, I noticed her small bottle of nutmeg. I thought to myself, "I think I have two bottles of nutmeg at home". It has happened to me numerous times this holiday season that I bought a few spices that I already had. This wouldn't be such a problem if my spices were organized. So at that moment I decided that I needed to buy a spice rack. At around 12:30 am Scott asked me what I was doing and I responded that I was searching on for a spice rack on Amazon on my Blackberry. It provided some good laughs, but in all seriousness, I need to act more urgently on re-organizing my home. Our second bedroom closet is so full of "stuff" that my mother-in-law barely has any room to hang her clothes when she comes to visit.
I also began to reflect on the relationships in my life and came to the conclusion that I need to re-organize these as well. 2010 presented many challenges in my relationships: with God, my husband, my family, my friends, and my co-workers. So often I put distractions, like school and trying to make people happy, ahead of these more important relationships. So this year, I'd like to organize, or really prioritize, my relationships (along with a few things in my house). I hope to do a much better job than I have in the past, and I believe that if I put God as my primary focus everything else will fall into place.
