true imperfection

january is slowly coming to a close. it's been 25 days since i made my "resolutions." so, how am i doing?

1. the most i have worked out is 2x/week. but i haven't skipped a week, either.

2. i have allowed other, less important things get in the way of my family life. i have realized that and am making an effort to correct it.

3. i have not done a real random act of kindness in a while. i will hold the elevator door for someone or let them cut in the grocery line when they have 1 thing and i have a cart full, but that's it. i need to start doing stuff on a larger scale.

4. i have fallen away from my relationship with God. i am on my way back, and He's giving me strength to fight the demons around me. i suppose that's what constitues a good relationship anyway - good friends are still there when you fall away for a while and then come back.

anyway, that's proof positive that i am perfectly imperfect. i am not allowing myself to punish myself about not reaching 100% of my goals yet. and that is something to write home about in itself! how do you handle things when you don't meet your expectations of yourself?
