Who says January 1st has to hog all the resolutions? I've made a few myself lately, as I usually do when I get depressed or feel down. When life throws obstacles down in front of me, I usually respond by crying and then picking myself up and making a new resolution.
I've got a lot of them right now, and am trying to figure out how to prioritize forming new habits. Do I start with getting showered and dressed every morning at a reasonable hour? (Obviously not, as it is 11:23 a.m. and I am still in pajamas--but I washed my face and brushed my teeth already)
Maybe I should go for the better eating. Or making sure I always wash Guy's hands before he eats. Or daily scripture study. Or, or, or . . . too many things on the list right now. I need to content myself to trying to be perfect in one thing until I make it a habit and the move on to the next thing.
I've lost almost 15 pounds since Josh left. I was hoping to lose 35, but 15 is a good start. Yes, I gained 50 pounds with Leo. I feel almost ashamed to admit it, but there it is.
This is a rather rambling post. I need to go and make spritz cookie dough for Mom.
p.s. No news on Josh's homecoming yet.

Prioritization is hard. There are so many good, important things. I think the answer is baby steps. Focus on the little choices that will eventually lead to the big results. And be sure to acknowledge your successes, no matter how small!
I have to say I'm proud of you for losing any weight at all. 15lbs in not even two months is a great accomplishment. Perhaps Leo isn't as big of an eater as guy was? Ü
Good luck choosing which things to work on.
