January 5, 2015

Happy 2015!!  Whew!!  Huge sigh of relief.  The holidays are officially over for me.  The holidays are always a challenge for me and even though I love them, I am glad when they are over and life can get back to some sense of normal, whatever normal is.

 

I gave up making New Year’s resolutions a number of years ago because it seemed like I would make the same ones over and over again…lose weight, stop yelling at my children, save money and many more that I can’t think of at this time.  I would start out strong and by February 1st, they would be forgotten and I would feel like I failed once again.

 

Just a couple of years ago I resolved not to make resolutions but to just “be present” in my life.  To live my life the way I want to live it. To seize the day. To slow down. To do something for myself every single day whether it is reading one of my favorite authors, taking a Zumba class, taking a walk with my Hubby, getting a massage, taking a bubble bath or just lazing in the sun.

 

This has worked well for me and so once again that is what I promise to do this year….take care of me!!  When I take care of me, then I can take care of the other important people in my life.
