Out with the Old, In with the New

I love new beginnings! I heard a quote once from a member of the Quorum of the Seventy in a fireside a couple weeks ago and he said, "Avoid the flashy start and the fade out finish." This is something that I struggle with because with the start of things (especially school) I have all these great plans of studying, going to bed early, etc., but somewhere down the line I lose that fresh start pep. As one of my new year's resolutions I am going to try to change this bad habit of mine. Along with:

Drinking 8+ glasses of water a day
Morning exercising 3 times a week
ZUMBA once a week (I have discovered it once again and can't remember why I didn't go because it's so much FUN)
Read from the Book of Mormon every day
Donate blood on a regular basis

These are just some of the ones I have been working on at the moment. My theme for the year is to "live in the now" and enjoy what I am doing right now and not worry so much on things that I have no control over now. Here's to fresh starts and a great year!
