Yes, I do realize that most of you put away your party dresses and glasses of champagne weeks ago. In fact, the new year was celebrated so long ago that there has already been plenty of time to make resolutions and fail miserably at them. (i.e., my resolution to cook dinner more often. Whoops.) And I also realize that most of everyone else in the blog world has already done their post about the beginning of the new year and their goals, etc. Oh well, I'm not most bloggers. I'm just me.
I must start by saying that I am not sad to bid adieu to 2012. It was not a bad year necessarily, but it was not my most favorite for many reasons. I will say that I learned a few things about myself in the months between turning 30 and the end of the year. It was a crash course in the realities of the grown up world. (And, it's not over yet.) But, if anything, the end of 2012 has taught me how I want to live in 2013. So here goes... My ideas for the new year.
I want to focus on one thing. SIMPLICITY.
I want this year to be about stripping away all that is unnecessary and focusing a few simple things.
FAITH. FAMILY and FRIENDSHIP. FITNESS and FUN. And just living in the moment. Without anxiety about tomorrow. Without focusing on past failures or future problems. I want to wake up each morning and be content to live the day ahead of me. And I want that for those around me too.
There will be no escaping life in 2013. No ma'am. I will be LIVING life in 2013. I want to spend more time with the people that I love.
** In case you're wondering - Yes, I still love Wes, I just don't happen to have any recent pictures of the two of us together. Ugh. Better work on that too :)
I want to nurture my friendships by being a better friend. (All my wonderful peeps - please imagine a picture of yourself inserted right here!)
I want to run better and stronger. And a bit faster if possible.
I want to get back to yoga. Love yoga.
And, because I have learned that we all inevitably mess up along the way, I want to do this.
