To A New Year & A Fresh Start!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I pray that God will richly bless you and all those that you love this year and always!
Remember, you don't have to wait til New Years to start fresh, you can do that daily!!

How did it go yesterday? Were you able to make it through the entire day without saying anything negative? If so, give yourself a high five!!! (I high five myself all the time! Not literally of course. Well, sometimes literally...) If you weren't able to complete yesterday's challenge, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you repeat it. This is a challenge worth completing and you would be surprised at what an impact it can have. Often, we don't even realize that we're being negative - our spouses may in fact see us as negative, pessimistic people and we may not even know it!

Onto today's challenge. Though it's already afternoon, so what? We're not going a day without a challenge, God willing! So today, we are going to fit in some alone time with our spouses. If it's 15 minutes, an hour, or the entire day - it doesn't matter. You just have to be alone, just the two of you. You don't have to do anything special. All you have to do is be together.

So put all the kids down for a nap at the same time, make 'em all clean their rooms, or send them off with grandma - whatever you have to do. Do not let this day end without spending some alone time with your spouse. And for those of you who don't have kids and therefore don't have to worry about getting rid of them (don't rub it in lol!) take your challenge a step further and nix all electronics - this includes the tv, computer (see ya!), cell phones, etc. Enjoy this time completely ALONE! :-)
