Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, now what’s going to change???  I have a fear of resolutions, why? Because I am so bad at following through with them.  I am so hesitate to even speak of what I might change for fear that I will not actually be able to do it.  Two years ago I resolved to mail paper birthday cards to all my friends and family members – no more evites!  Seems silly but it was a goal I felt that I could attain, even when the laundry was piling up over my head AND I really love getting personal mail over bills in my mailbox!  The following year brought along a lot of change on it’s own….Happy was born and then I left my job to become a stay at home mom (SAHM).  That in itself was overwhelming and adjustments all around.

There are so many things I’d like to get better at – Home Management, Healthy Eating and Cooking, Excercise, Better mom, Better wife…and the list goes on.  However, the biggest goal I’d like to set for myself is to be more present in the moment!  Yes folks, I’ve said it – now hold me to it!  I tend to be the “ohh a bigger house..” or “ohh maybe more kids, a dog or a new car?”  More is certainly not always better and bigger, well that’s just more to clean.

As a family, we’ve decided before bed we’d tell each other something we were thankful for, that day.  When I hear Funny say “I’m thankful for giving you hugs” my heart just melts and it reminds me, when I am in the store and tired, worn out and asking him to “please stop touching everything” that you know what…he’s three and a half…..BREATHE.

Oh and I’m going to try and write here more often – gosh, I’ve said another one….Happy New Year!
