Well I can't believe it, another year has come and gone. Last year was a particularly important year for me. I got married, moved out on my own, moved to a new state, and Daniel started grad school. As of right now, 2013 is a wide open canvas, a blank slate just waiting to be filled. I don't want to get stuck in a rut, I mean routines are nice but I want to live my life with new found excitement every day. I don't want to wake up on January 1, 2014 and wonder where the past year went. The new year is always filled with resolutions and people who are so dedicated and determined, but that energy quickly fades. This year, I have not made any formal resolutions, but there are some things I would like to try and make a better habit of doing in my daily life. 1.) I need to focus on reading the bible more, my mom reads the bible every day and she spends time journaling and praying. I need to train myself to follow in her example. 2.) Exercise and eat healthier, these are important to me because at 23 years old I should be able to walk up 3 flights of steps and not be winded, I need to keep my body healthy so that I can have many years with Daniel. 3.) Talk to Daniel often and about the future. Today we had a really great conversation about what kind of house we want someday and what we should do after PA school. I know we cannot always live in the future, but it is good to have some ideas and it's really important to me to talk. Not always about deep topics but just to talk. And not forget to let the other person know they really matter to you. Daniel, if you are reading this, you really matter to me and I appreciate all the hard work you do! 4.) Document my life better. Not that my day to day activities are super important but my memory is not the greatest and I would like to have some sort of record to show my children someday. Also I need to cultivate some hobbies other than watching loads of tv.
Here is a quote on a daily calendar that really stuck out to me: The best way to get something done is to begin. You can't accomplish anything without taking that first step. So to those people that have started their resolutions, you have begun, just don't give up.
