Sadly, I snuggled up with my laptop and pinned to my hearts content until the wee hours of the morning! Pinetrest is so addicting. Though it wasn't exciting I enjoyed it.
Next New Years Eve I hope to either be on a vacation or be celebrating out on the town but it is too early in this New Year to be wishing time away so I will focus staying in the now. I know I have mentioned this in an earlier posting but I really like this commercial from Special K. It asks "What do you want to gain this year?" It's a strange question since one of the top resolutions people make is to lose weight, that is what they are selling but it has a different spin on it, it's very clever.
I started thinking about what is it I want to gain in 2013 and I have come up with the following for now.
I would like to gain:
Muscles
Serenity
Self Confidence
Discipline
Courage
Bravery
Creativity
Financial Freedom
Since a gym membership is out of the question I've decided that whenever I have 10-15 minutes I will try to do some type of exercising. I'm not really good at making myself to commit to any concrete schedule or regime so I figure I can keep it simple and flextible this way. Now that I have posted this it is also making me accountable for me to follow through. Yikes, what have I done!
As far as creativity goes I have a lot of interests that can keep me happy. I love to sew, I found a blog called Little Dresses for Africa where you can make dresses, and they get sent to Africa, last year before I knew I was going to be a Nana I had purchased some fabric so I am all set to get started. There are also sewing projects I want to do for my grandson and myself. I was also thinking about taking a picture a day and writing what the picture means to me, I am hoping that it will help me with my postings also. Lastly, I've been one that loves to color, yes I'm 50 years old but I love to drag out the crayons and coloring book whenever the mood strikes me. It makes me feel young again, the smell of the crayons brings back memories of grade school. As I child I always wanted the huge box of crayons, the one with the built in sharpener, a few years ago I treated myself to that box and I've been giddy about coloring ever since! A few weeks ago for our Christmas lunch at work I was drawing some pictures and those of you that read this blog that work with me know they were not anything special but as I was drawing I started to feel so free. It was so much fun that I could have kept going but luckily time was a factor and I had to stop. That expereince made me think that I should get a pad of drawing paper and have at it.
It's at least a place for me to start. What is it you want to gain this year? Please tell me, I really want to know.
Keep smiling and know that God loves you and so do I.
