I was looking back over my New Years resolutions from last year and I've fallen short of just about every one of them. This year has been a whirlwind, to say the least. A career change for each of us, a major move and then another move, and a baby growing up at the speed of light.
1). I will say I half checked off the first resolution to be more appreciative. Maybe even three-fourths. I have really worked on appreciating my husband and mom more. I've tried to say thank you (and really mean it) twice as much as usual. The other night I asked my husband to do a task I knew he hated and then quickly told him I would take care of it, just because I knew he hated doing it and it was one small thing I could do.
2). Over extending myself. Major fail. Some days I feel like my head might spin off I'm so busy trying to fit my schedule together like a perfectly shaped puzzle.
3). Read 100 books. I read about 60. Not terrible. I'm actually pretty happy with that even if it fell short of my goal.
4). Lose 10 pounds. I'm pretty sad I couldn't lose 10 lbs in 12 months but it is what it is. Yoga is still calling my name...
5). Spend more time with my husband. I can check this off. We've taken a bunch of mini trips and spent some good quality time together this year.
I'm making just one resolution this year. To be more present in life. To stop rushing so much. I am uber guilty of squeezing this in here and that there and not really being "there" for any of it. I'm going to not live life behind a screen. To put my phone down more often and connect with people in real time. Life is too short; I would rather make memories than "like" memories. 2013 was a great, stressful, whirlwind of a year. Bring on 2014; I'm ready to leap into a new year. After we celebrate Christmas, of course!
