Everyone is making lists and resolutions..myself included. Some carry over from last year-doing things that scare me, attempting to live within my means, and maintaining my current healthy weight. I will add a few new things- To dust off my Nordic track bike and actually USE it! (confession: I am lazy and hate to exercise!) and finally, to actually blog the things I write more frequently!
But I want to share with you something I do for myself every New Year's Eve... I write myself a letter!
What made my heart sign in the previous year?
What broke it?
What did I accomplish?
And what is next?
I then seal up the letter put it away and forget about it until the next NYE when I open it and read it and see how I did. It is a VERY interesting exercise in being honest with yourself! Try it! I DARE you! :)
SO looking back, 2011 was good to me. My best friend Dee is healthy and cancer free! My child has grown and flourished at Mount Aliison university and I could not be prouder! Watching him perform is something i cannot explain! My parents are well.. and of course.. I travelled... ALOT! which absolutely makes my heart sing! I had a January getaway with my sister and her family for a 3 day Bahamas cruise and a 3 day stay at the Hard Rock Hotel Universal Studios in Orlando. I went on a road trip in April with my son to Maine to shop. I flew to Toronto to meet my sister and attend my dream come true concert U2!! I returned to Alberta for Roadtrip 2.0 with my dear friend Crystal.
And looking forward.. 2012 will bring a return to Europe- London, Paris ,Rome and a 7 day Greek isles cruise out of Venice !! Call me the Miser.. as for the next 9 months I need to save save save!!
Anyway my lovelies...be good to yourselves and be grateful for every moment you get to share with your friends and families..as 2011 has also shown me how quickly it can all change and how short a time we truly have to spend together!
My motto for 2012 is SOMEDAY is not a day of the week!
Go after what you want..you deserve it!
Peace and Love,
