Wow guys, I really suck. Not gonna lie finding the time to blog is super difficult!! But with the new year comes new goals and blogging more is #1 on that list!!
Coming into this new year I have a lot of goals; here is the short list;
1 - I have had a very strong tug at my heart lately to better my life, not just physically but spiritually as well. I am not exactly sure where that path is going to lead me right in this moment but I am excited to start exploring what exactly spirituality means to me.
2 - Take (and print!) more personal photos. This is where blogging will tie in! I am going to participate in a 52 Week Photo challenge (know any good ones? I would love to get some recommendations in the comments!) to make me take out my big camera more in my everyday life and not so much just for work! I thought about doing a 366 challenge but I feel like I know I would fail at that!
3 - Read more!!! A couple of years ago I was reading a new book every month and I miss it!! I miss having that chill time at the end of the night to invest quiet time and just be in the moment with my book and my hot tea. So I am going to start up again.
4 - Get rid of some of our crap in this house! I hate clutter. And I am married to a closet hoarder. When he was still in the Air Force I took deployments to my advantage to purge stuff that we didn't use. Well, it's been a lot harder to find the time to do that since he no longer deploys! So no I have to get him on board which is easier said than done but I am determined to simplify our life this year!
5 - To love more. To give my time to my family and friends more. To not get so swallowed by life that I don't take time for my family and for myself. My plan is to take Sundays and Mondays as my off, unplugged days. Devote Sundays to my family and Mondays to housework. I have been so overwhelmed with trying to find that work/life balance and I refuse to feel that way this year!
So there it is y'all! The short list. There are a few more personal and professional things I have on my list but these are the ones that matter to me the most!
Here's to making 2016 a great one!
