It occurs to me on this second day of school that I should embrace this year and make a few changes in my life. With my littlest one off to school five days a week, I will actually have time built in to my day for me - every single day. So it only seems fitting that I make some "new year" resolutions. Some big, some little...
This school year I resolve to:
1. Write daily - it moves me, inspires me, helps me think things through, and keeps me grounded. I need to make it more of a priority, because it brings me such peace.
2. To strengthen my changing relationships with my oldest two children. They're growing so fast - into an age where they spend more time with their friends, confiding less and less in me. I want to work on maintaining a good relationship with them.
3. To be more organized and habitual in my housekeeping.
4. To scrapbook more.
5. To continue trying to reforge stronger ties with my family - to communicate more and about more important stuff.
6. To continue my education. Perhaps with a degree in Journalism or Culinary Arts.
7. To create a "project" to undertake - like paper recycling at the school.
8. Try and reconnect with or start a book club.
9. To make a life to do list and start doing it.
10. To plan a trip to Italy and go.
11. To eat better.
12. To walk or bie daily - building up to 8 miles per day (New Zealand here I come).
13. Read more.
14. Be more earth friendly. Use recycled products whenever possible, drive less, and use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. Overall to reduce my footprint.
