We try not to make a ton of resolutions because like most other Americans by week 3 we have already broken them! But this year Jante' and I did a little exercise where we had to write down (separately) 3 things that we wanted to focus on for 2013. Interestingly enough we both had "being happy/happiness" on our list. As we talked about why we put this particular item on our list we started to reflect on the families of those that lost loved ones at Sandy Hook Elementary School about a month ago. While tragedies happen often this particular one really had a special place in our hearts because children were involved.
This caused us to think about how we can be happy EVERY day! We are so amazingly blessed and often times I think we forget this and don't take the time to enjoy the simple things.
With that said, we committed to doing several Family Fun activities this year. We started with updating the Glenn Family Calendar (just through March, working a quarter at a time). A few of the new ideas include:
- New Restaurant Fridays (trying a new kid friendly preferably local restaurant every other Friday)
- Glenn Bowling Night (once a month, Cameron is actually better than Jante' - LOL)
- New South East Adventure (once a month adventuring to a new fun adventure in the south east, preferably overnight...Cameron LOVES staying in hotels....I wonder where he gets that from)
