I heard a great talk by Elder Holland on not looking back and it struck me as fitting for 2010. Its never good to hang onto the past whether it was good or bad. I don't mean to say we don't look back and cherish certain memories that were special but I don't think it good that we wish to go back. Even with bad memories I think it an error to linger on them and rehash how terrible you were or the situation was. The past is the past. How can we look forward with faith if we are constantly looking back? I think that is a chief characteristic of faith...looking forward and having hope for the future.
I have lots to hope for this new year. I hope that I can improve as a mom and wife. I hope that we can get our downstairs done and some trees in this year. I hope I can grow as good a garden as I have in the past. I hope that President Obama will see the error of his ways (I said this was my hope list!) I hope that I can improve in the area of patience. And I hope that when I review this list at the end of 2010 I will see some small victories over myself. I think 2010 is going to be really great!
