Blogging is hard!

Okay, so I am a little challenged when it comes to blogging but I am not going to let technology get away from me.

I am inspired by friends who blog so I am going to make more of an effort!

Today I am thankful. I am thankful for my family, our health, and good friends. I have recently been reminded of all of that due to cirumstances that have arisen in the lives of some close friends. I am focusing on appreciating every day and trying to take opportunities to make memories of the moments I have right now.

I could write a lot more but I want to spend time with my daughter. She won't be 2 much longer!

As I begin a new year, I am venturing out into the world of blogging. I never thought that I would even try but I have read many other posts and have felt inspired and entertained. I just have many thoughts rolling around in my brain and I wanted a place to muse over them.

I just returned from a trip to Kentucky. I don't go for the weather but it was cold! It was good to see family although we all came down with a horrific stomach virus that the kids are still battling. I wanted to lose a little weight this year but not quite like this. Anyway, my January trip signifies a time to relax, recharge and think about reorganizing life to begin a new year.

I try not to hold myself to resolutions that I will break but to try to envision my life the way I would like it to be and set goals to move myself in that direction.

The two biggest things that stand out for me right now is that I want to carve out more time to do the things that I want to do and not the things that just fall into my lap. I work evenings and I only have few to myself. I don't want to fill them up with meetings and activities that don't give me good time with my family or for myself. The other thing I want to do is become move active and healthy. I want to keep up with my 4 year old.

That is probably enough to keep me busy for this year. I will add things if I need a challenge.
Happy New Year...
