Quick note: I realize some of my buttons are asqew. I will work quickly to correct this issue. I'm not sure what I've done. ;)
Happy New Year!
I feel so dubious with my 2012 list of to-do's. I don't necessarily like the idea of resolutions. I like to look at the new year with the attitude of simply wiping the slate clean, looking forward, and dreaming of my future. I decided a couple years ago not to dwell on my mistakes and regrets of the past. After all I am new each day, and this time of year reminds me of that.
I feel so blessed with my life.
A little something about me, I never settle down. I have the same type of struggles everyone else goes through, but I choose to smile and count my blessings each and every day. I keep busy and dare to live life to the fullest of my ability.
SO I decided to write a list of my loves in this moment.
My husband. After 15 years together, we are actually happily in love.
My boys. A gift from God, they have given me such a full life and I love sharing in the joy they bring.
Music. I know, everybody loves music. I have a silly confession here. I have been dreaming about it, singing in my sleep lately.
Me. I am learning to give a little more to me this month. I didn't realize how motherhood had consumed me until my husband asked what I would like for Christmas and I could only think of one thing. So I am going to love me a little more and get back in touch with my womanhood.
Food. I've felt like a food snob lately, but my fallback meals haven't been doing it for me lately. I want to eat delectable meals. And I know that means more effort, but oh, it's SO worth it when I take time to really cook. Quiet. I have always been a bit rowdy, and maybe having 2 rowdies around all day has calmed me, but I don't know. It feels different, I seem to have a peaceful silence in my soul.
My friends. There is nothing in this world that can take the place of people I love. I treasure my friendships and they are the focus of my life.
My dreams. Lord knows I have many! I have been trying to put together a life plan and a find a starting point. I don't care if my path deviates, but I am going for it. I am daring to do, and to live a full happy life, and I'm being intentional.
(part 2 tomorrow.)
Instead of focusing on negative things in your life today, think about what's lovely in your life.
