2017 THEMES! / Happiness Project MashUp

Resolution Table of contents



Word = WORK

Quote = "Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will NOT be sent to you. You have to win it."   Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hymn 229

Today, while the sun shines

Today while the sunshine's work with the will today all your duties with patience fulfill today while the birds sing harbor no care call life a good gift call the world fair!

Today seek the treasure better than gold, the peace and the joy that are found in the fold. today seek the gems that shine in the heart; while here, we labor, choose the better part.

Today seek for goodness, virtue, and truth, as crown of your life and the grace of your youth. Today, while the heart beats, live to be true, constant and faithful all the way through.

Today, today, work with the will; today, today, your duties fulfill. Today, today, work while you may; prepare for tomorrow by working today.

Scripture

Alma 13:27-29
And now, ...I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even onto pain, that you would hearken unto my words, and cast off your sins, and not procrastinate the date of your repentance;
But that you would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that you may not be tempted above that which he can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long suffering;
Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that you shall receive Eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that you may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest.


This is the year of my #HappinessProject and with this theme in mind I've added to my Things to do each month;

January = Hearken to His words / Civility / Be True. Honest. Fun. Positive. Moral. and Work on my Marriage Attitude.
February = Repent / Joy /Work. Eliminate. Restore. Books. Clothes. Dishes. (I think I'll be throwing out stuff!)
March = Don't Procrastinate / Mindfulness / Be Smart. Still. Aware. Educated. Humble.
April = More Being Humble / Finances / money. Budgets. Taxes.
May = Prayer / Spirituality / Eternity. Scripture. Conference. Fasting.  find what else it means to be spiritual.
June =  Listen / Leisure / parenting. grand parenting. Forgiveness. Mercy.  
July =JOY Family appreciation
August = Meek /  Resilience / Don't look back longingly. Hows the Marriage and family history book coming along?!Avoid Temptation / Friendship. Visiting Teaching. Restoring (again?). Relish. Make new friendships.
September = Submissive (I hate this word, wish me luck) / Grateful.
October = Patience / Fear not.
November = Full of love / Family is Forever 
December = Long suffering /  Goodwill / peace


With the holidays settling down and moving to the back ground, I just needed to get grounded again and restate the plan!  Remember, kel these are resolutions vs goals, learning from the original Happiness Project that a resolution is something you keep doing next month, while adding the new plan for the new month.  Hope I am not in over my head and anxious to see what I will learn while starting my 6th decade of life!
