Ringing OUT the New Year, dancing into the NEW

I admit whole-heartedly that I am GLAD that 2013 is OVER.  I am ready for a change. I realize that New Years Resolutions are cliche! We write stuff down on a piece of paper or declare it publicly, find accountability partners...and we still fail at most of what we write down. Although, one year, I wrote down 100 things I wanted to do and I looked at my goals EVERY SINGLE DAY, and ya know what, I accomplished most of them.  So perhaps, I should do that again, or perhaps I should write down the things I didnt like about 2013 and remind myself that I want to change them.
I rushed too much and missed some pretty important things because of it.
I over-analyzed alot and didnt enjoy everything that I could have because of that fact.
I complained WAYYYY to much, and missed alot of blessings because I had my eye on what I didnt have and not on what I have been abundantly blessed with.
I said yes when I really should have said no.  I undertook things I didnt do with a grateful heart.
I spent too much time wasting time, avoiding important things I really should have gotten done.
I was angry alot.  Anger sometimes is where my heart has seemed to settle, and so I walked around with a dreadful, cynical, stubborn, closed heart. And although I have had moments where I have realized it, I havent fixed it! I am not even sure what I am angry at most of the time.
I have taken too many steps backward when it comes to putting my health first. I need to get myself in check and KEEP myself in check.
I have made myself too busy and not given myself enough time to JUST BE!
I havent read to Audrey as much as I would have liked. or taken her to the park as much as I should have, or just sat down on the floor and pretended to eat her imaginary cake and drink her imaginary tea.
I have worked at my business just to prove that I could be busy and not thrown myself into every moment that I could have and captured everything as perfectly as I would have liked.
I have been a hard to live with wife and a unreasonable daughter and the relationships with these, my Most Valuable People has suffered because of my attitude and self-centeredness!
I have cried too much and not laughed enough.
I have been a keep-my-distance friend and a god-talker and not a god-listener and god-follower.  Oh My word, I am a Chreaster! There I said it.  I realize it and I am ever so sad because of it.
The good thing is, God loves me anyway, and I know that. But I also know I have to spend some time focusing on my relationship with him and alot of the the stuff will fall into place naturally...funny how he works that way!
The resolution I am making is simple:
BE STILL
and
Think before I speak, before I judge, before I preach, Before I yell.
BE STILL
and weigh my words and actions.
BE STILL
and be OK with myself
BE STILL
and know.
