Isn’t that how the saying goes!? Pretty sure I have gotten that one incorrect most of my life… Despite my best intentions, I seem to regularly get excited about something and commit to it a little prematurely… as in, I don’t consider my calendar before I schedule things, my brain before I speak, etc.
I have largely grown in this area and am generally way more realistic about my commitments, but I owe you an apology!! I said here that I would be posting each day with the response to a question to reflect upon 2014 and then several looking ahead to 2015!
While I still plan to do so, a wonderful weekend away with my husband {thank you Young Life!} for a staff-spouse retreat left me a bit distracted, and speaking at our Young Life Area Leadership tonight has depleted the rest of my “writing time”.
That said, here is the list in full that my dear Bostonian friend has shared with me for several years and I love it. I hope you do too!
