         Our travel plans and plane tickets arrived via email today, so we are resting easy knowing that we have a seat on the plane and will actually be able to return home on time—barring the unusual and unexpected.

         It was surprisingly cool today and felt good.  Glade went to swim and still loved being out in the sun—or the clouds, either one J

         Following is the last of the 15 suggestions to consider for New Year’s resolutions:

15. Emulate Jesus Christ

The best goals and resolutions lead Church members toward Jesus Christ. President Thomas S. Monson taught, “As we strive to place Christ at the center of our lives by learning His words, by following His teachings, and by walking in His path, He has promised to share with us the eternal life that He died to gain. There is no higher end than this, that we should choose to accept His discipline and become His disciples and do His work throughout our lives. Nothing else, no other choice we make, can make of us what He can.”

         What a great thought to end on.  After reading this list and realizing that the suggestions come from Conference talks, it is easy to see that most Conference talks provide counsel that we could apply to goal setting every six months.  Perhaps you are all doing this already! 

Have a great night—Hugs and Prayers for you as always! J
