Great site. I too just want to be the happiest mom & “gramma” I can be to my 6 kids and 13 grandchildren. You know the old saying “If Momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy! We have a big responsibility!

I think the second part of your closing question is the critical one – not only what we resolve, but how we plan to carry it out. I often find myself falling into the trap of making abstract resolutions without any particular plan of action. So, in that spirit, I join you in resolving to have a happier family in 2010 – but how? By enlisting enough childcare to make sure Husband and I both have enough time to pursue a modest amount of our own interests (both independently and together). By logging off the computer when my sons wake up from their afternoon naps so that I can focus on being present in each moment with them. By making sure we all get adequate sleep nutrition.

Thanks for another thought-provoking post.

I like the idea of resolving to be happier in 2010. And I especially like the idea of asking what I want less of and more of in my life. All too often resolutions are about nebulous goals that really just make us feel guilty, and don’t even reflect what we actually want.

So, what do I want less of this year? Less yelling, and less disorder. And what do I want more of? Time to write, and time outdoors with my kids. I think I can do those things.
