tis the season...to ponder the year gone by and look towards the new year with hope and expectations.
2007 was an amazing year. we had some great family time, capped off with an old fashioned road trip - two weeks traveling the mother road (route 66) from chicago to california. it was an unbelievable family vacation....
so as i begin to think towards 2008, there are several things that come to mind. the first is family. i want to continue to put our family first. we've been very diligent about that the last few years, spending time hanging out, playing games, going shopping, taking trips, etc. that has to be number one.
a second thing of importance to me is my health. i am overweight, even though i am active, and that is purely due to emotional eating. i know how to be healthy. i was very healthy in college. i just don't take the time to BE healthy. so i'm vowing to spend time taking care of myself this year. no big diet. no huge exercise plan. but doing things to make me healthier. just common sense. enough of this bizarre unhealthy lifestyle. i'm too young. i have too much to live for.
a third thing is taking time to do some of the things i really love. reading. scrapbooking. playing my violin. writing. i need to do those things for me. they are part of me, a part that sometimes i let go. i don't want to lose who i am.
a fourth one is continuing to explore and strengthen my faith in Jesus Christ. my faith has been an integral part of my life for years. and every year it grows a little more. but to me, it's never enough.
so those are my four top priorities. of course, spending time visiting friends and riding harley are in there too. actually, one of my hard goals for 2008 is getting my motorcycle license. looking forward to that.
but in living life day to day, the top four are most important to me. here's to 08!
