Sorry for the delay in posting, we have had some illnesses going around our house and I just have not had the energy to do much. Also, I have been having some issues trying to get pictures loaded up.
New Years bring new starts, new opportunities and fresh ideas. I like resolutions, but hesitate to make them because they tend to always get shifted to the back burner and then forgotten about. This year, instead of resolutions, I just have some thoughts on things I would like to do to enjoy life.
1. Try to do something active everyday. Whether I get to the gym or not (which I have been doing on a regular basis, and loving it, thanks again Mom and Dad), I want to just keep moving. Play with the kids, skate on the lake, play tag or chase, have a dance party in the basement, whatever... do something everyday.
2. Simplify life. I want to declutter, organize, and downsize things to help gain perspective on what is truely important. Life is so hectic, I want to be able to appreciate all that i have and not get caught up in stuff, and plans and keeping up with everyone else. Just enjoy and live in the moment.
That is all. Not a lot.
Here are some of the simple things we have been enjoying so far this year...
Wil's first "real" picture
(He drew his family, "with a sunny blue sky, the car and the garage")
Relaxing on the couch
A nice warm bubble bath!
Cuddly Froggies!
Movies in Mom and Dad's bed
Breakfast in the dining room
(just because)
The race car stroller at the mall
Noodle fingers
A good bowl of soup on a cold day
I really appreciate and echo your desire to "simplify"...I think it can only help us as we attempt to maintain a clear focus on what truly matters. (and, it helps, that decluttering and organizing are pretty fun activities in and of themselves!)
