Thoughts for the year

Image
So for the past year, as I'm sure many of you have, lots of goals were set and not all were achieved. But of course, goals change. They change shape, need more time or less, require more effort or less, need to be placed on the back burner or shoved in front... whatever the goal is, as long as I was working towards it, that was what kept me going. New goals? Well, duh! Of course I have new goals! Some I made last year FOR this year, but they're goals nonetheless. I still have three of the five 5k runs left to do before the end of next August, and get up the gumption (is that even a word?) to sign up for a 10k after that! Sheesh... that's a lot of running. Getting organized, once and for all... yea... it's one of those never-gonna-happen scenarios, but I can at least get better at putting things away before the clutter gets the better of me. Listen better. To myself. To my children. To my Husband... well... that's gonna be a tough one! Be more social. Se

Probably THE most stressful day for me. Hands down. I don't know why I put so much pressure on myself at this time of year. It's almost retarded. I always try to do so much for other people and even though I get a head start most of the time, I always... I mean ALWAYS... end up running out of time. I still have so much to do and I only have another night and a bit to get it done. AARRGHH!!! I love doing things for others. I love making things that I know I like, and I enjoy trying out new things. But as per usual, I end up adding more people to my list that I want to give to, and that's why I end up running out of time. But look at this blog so far. In two paragraphs I managed to us the word "I" so many times it's disgusting. And that's pretty much the point, isn't it? This time of year isn't about me. It isn't about what I get or how I feel. It's about how others feel and if they get something that shows how much I care about them. W
