Finally a resolution...

Happy New Year! Wait it is January 14th! (is it sad that I had to look & see what the date was? haa!)  Yes, I know I am very late on getting to this, but the important thing is that I am doing it now. It is a big deal every year for me to make new years resolutions. It really has nothing to do with the New Year- I just have found that it is a great way for me to reflect & figure out what I want to do with this year I have been given. Too often we just go through life with no passion, no enjoyment, no mojo (did I really just type that?!)
guess so!
forgive me, it is late!
We just take life for granted & it passes us by. I decided somewhere between college & childbirth that I was not going to be one of these people to say... Oh I wish I would have... So to help me accomplish that goal, I make other goals. Yes, I have lists for my lists! :) Oh you are learning way to much about me.

So here are my resolutions/goals for the year (thus far):
#1-- I WILL dedicate a minimum of 20 minutes 5 days a week to something I enjoy (reading, working out, creating...) I will take care of me.
#2-- I WILL have a 6 pack by the summer. It is time I see my abs!
#3-- I WILL take a self defense class, in hopes that it will help with my own nightmares
#4-- I WILL be the person to say "hello" first, because I love when people do it to me.
#5-- I WILL invest in making new healthy friendships
#6-- I WILL simplify & organize our house
#7-- I have promised to not color/highlight my hair for an entire year! AHHH. this is the hardest of all! I am not 30 yet & I can see grey! I will embrace my 30's ;)
#8-- I WILL be content in all things (carries over from last year!)
#9-- I WILL not cut my hair so that I can give it to Locks of Love
#10-- I WILL take every moment possible to teach my child how to love, be confident, and grateful for the world & people around her
#11-- I will drink more water & less coffee

ok, this is my list, a little funny, a little weird, but very serious! I am sure that I will need encouragement along the way, so I give you permission to check my drawers! I love setting goals & accomplishing them. So... Here is to a New Year!
