Failure

So I have failed miserably at keeping an updated blog this past year. It was supposed to help me chronicle preparing for a half marathon...also a failure. I could fill this blog with detailed accounts of my daily failures....the dessert I ate but probaby shouldn't have, losing my temper when I should have had more patience, not sending out any Christmas cards (except one for my Grandmother in Canada)... Do I go on?

I am not sorry to see 2011 go. A lot has happened over the last year that has really rocked my world...for the good and the bad. My own bout with cancer, my grandmother dying, my husband being called to serve in the bishopric, and a few things probably way too personal to share.

But with saying good bye to the new year I love the idea of making goals and trying. Failure doesn't bother me much. It happens to everyone. I am in good company.

This year I have changed my blog, want to recommit to blogging. I would like to take some more yoga classes. I am attempting my first cleansing diet...safe and soundly! I would really love to replace the flooring in my home. I would love to have more patience with my children and finish reading Harry Potter with my son. Knowing myself the way I do, I will probably fail at some or all of my goals. Even knowing this doesn't mean I won't try. If I don't try...that is the ultimate failure.
