.new year. new goals.

December 31st seems to get everyone thinking, myself included.  The holidays are just about to wind down.  I have had a solid month of eating poorly and drinking more than normal.  I have had no solid routine for a good 2 weeks. I also had a fourteen hour drive with just myself and my dog to get to think about what a new year means. 

I'm not very big into New Year's Resolutions because I feel like they generally focus on the negative.  So without saying, "I'm too fat, I want to drop a pant size," I'd like to resolve to do some positive things that will overall make me a better me! :)

I'd like to continue to be silly with my husband, and laugh everyday.
I'd like to volunteer once a month as a reminder to myself of all that I have.
I'd like to treat my body the way it deserves to be treated.  I need to keep in mind that I only have one.  It's important to fuel it in the right way, and get enough sleep.  I need to go to the doctor, which I seem to always forget. 
I'd like to be kind to everyone I encounter.  I need to keep in mind that I don't know what is going on in their day, and maybe in a small way I can make a difference. 
I'd like to turn off the tv and open more books.
I'd like to write a letter once a month to someone that I don't get to keep in touch with as much as I'd like to. NOT an email, a letter. 
I'd like to write more songs, bake more cakes, and let more of my creative self out this year. 
I'd like to continue to do well in school and soak up as much knowledge as I possibly can throughout my program.
Lastly, but not absolutely not least, I REALLY want to blog more.  I think it'll be awesome to look back on my thoughts as I grow and learn. 

HAPPY TWENTY-FOUTEEN EVERYONE! 
Let's have a fabulous year!
