Watching: Parenthood, I just love this show!  I have never related to a television show or movie the way I do with Parenthood.  I celebrate with them, cry with them (a lot), get angry with them (SARAH BRAVERMAN).  I think that is the beautiful thing about this show, at some point you find yourself relating to these fictional characters.  Also, I have been watching The Biggest Loser.  I love Jillian Micheals and I admire each contestant making strides to improve their health.

Listening to: Any Bethel Worship music I can get my hands on.  For Christmas Jared got me the "For the Sake of the World" cd and I listen to it or watch the accompanying dvd constantly.  If you are not familiar with Bethel I am including a link to one of their songs.

Reading:  The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.  I haven't gotten very far into this book but I loving it so far.  The book is told from the perspective of Hazel who is a smart, funny young woman who has cancer and falls for a boy that she meets a support group.  One of my goals is to read more this year, at least two books a month.  After I finish this one I think I am going to revisit an old favorite.  

Thinking about: Encouraging others.  I came across this blog recently and I have been checking back daily because I am so inspired by this woman!  Jess has an adorable toddler and she is an extremely talented crocheter.  However, I am most intrigued by her heart.  She writes a lot about the random acts of kindness and gifts that she spends her time doing.  It is so easy for me to get "so busy" that I forget to be an encouragement to the people around me.  So often I allow myself to think "Well, what can I do?" and sometimes  most of the time it is the smallest things that make the biggest difference.
