I have decided that my New Year’s resolution is to be more mindful. That is to be more aware of what I am doing rather than just being on automatic pilot all the time. I want to be more in the present moment and to be grateful. With a new born baby it is hard to find time for long quiet times with God or reading the Bible etc so one must be more aware of God in everything. To change Nina’s nappy in worship or to hang out the washing or rock her to sleep in constant gratitude. Nina is a person who lives in the present. Who is curious about everything around her so she is a good companion for this journey.

Today I am very grateful for 10 hours sleep with only one wake up. What a baby I have.
