Its the first day of 2010 and I feel the excitement of a clean canvas to paint. Our lives are a build up of mere minutes....most of which are insignificant. But like I had said in a earlier post I feel something building within me. It makes me happy just the thought of it. I have no idea what it is but 2010 is going to be a glorious year. 2009 was a year of change and learning for me and I am glad its over, not that there weren't wonderful moments but ...I am happy to move on.
This year holds the typical resolutions of fitness and being organized. The other goals I have are nothing you havent heard from me...but I can repeat myself
I have my first guitar lesson next week and I am so excited. Music makes my world go round and I want to literally put my life to a melody. My life, my thoughts, my fear, my inspiration, my love....me to music. Its not a quest for fame or anything....I just want a melody to go along with the photos that make up my life. Its my journal
I want to travel twice this year. First italy in the spring and then I am thinking germany in the fall. I want to feel I have claimed my independence. I want to feel free
Last year I had goals with my photography I have by far out done my original goal. But I would like to be more organized within my business and get a better grip on the whirl wind that is my job. I also plan to paint on the side
Being a single mom is hard. Being a mom at all is hard..... I don't want to look back and wish I had more simple moments with my kids. I don't want to miss out on the little things because I have to play both mom and dad everyday. I feel like I miss so much...and I don't think I could live with the guilt the rest of my life. So ....simple moments with my kids is my most important goal. I want more crayons, play dough, fairy tale's and sing alongs in my life.
I want to remember to be thankful everyday....not just when life's going smooth. My goal is to find something to be thankful for no matter what kind of situation is thrown my way. I feel like I am a realist, I know things dont always go perfect but its how you deal with those moments that builds your character.
A silly one I have is I want to expand my vocabulary. (feel free to giggle at me) I dont know why but I like finding better words to use when I want to express myself. I also have a horrible habit of speed reading which means I mis read and say words wrong sometimes. Once I say a word wrong it sticks....its a bad habit I need to break.
Last is the classic...get healthy. I need to take better care of myself, the lack of sleep or time to eat when I need to isn't working out for me. I swear I have deep dark circle and wrinkles I didnt have the year before....ugh not cool! I feel exhausted way more than I should and I want to be healthy and feel better!
I quick break down of my year.....2009 month by month.
