My name is Dawn...

Most of you that know me well would agree that I am a morning person. I have always woken up early to get things done while the house is still quiet. I get so much accomplished in that time!

Since my illness and all the medications I am not waking up early anymore. In fact, I have to use an alarm now to get up on those days I need to be up. UGH!!! But I still love the potential of things that can come with each new day, regardless of whether it is at 5am or 8am.

Planning for the New Year is a bit similar to planning for a new day. We write down our lists of resolutions, but we are dissapointed, more times than not, when in a few weeks we have not stuck to the new program - so we give it up altogether.

I decided to do it differently this year. One reason is because, while I do expect and hope to live through 2010, my illness forces me to live in smaller segments.

I will live as if each day is a new year (all are general and entail many things and this list is subject to change):
1)Begin with a quiet time. God IS my power source.
2)Do at least ONE thing that moves me toward my more long-term goals.
3) Do at least ONE thing (this really should be more but I hate breaking resolutions so I will start small) that will let people see God through me.

It is a new day...My name is Dawn
