What is in this picture is one of the things I "Live" for. I unexpectedly changed course around March, so unfortunately for most of 2010 I simply moved through the motions. It was pretty much a blur as I worked day after day, and struggled to get through those days because of my poor inability to balance. I did not thrive, I merely survived. Sure, I got a promotion, and earned respect at work, but that was all. It did very little for my soul. This is not what I want to do in 2011. I know it is cliche to say that with a new year comes a new start. I do not care. It is was it is, and this is a perfect starting point for me, and that is what matters.
If you read my blog, then you may have read this post from March. Today I feel I am at a similar point. Either I change direction, or I will not really be "living", I will just be surviving a life that has no meaning and no fun! Not going to let that happen. Writing on my blog for the first time since May, is a step in the right direction. Writing and taking photos about my family and about our life used to be one of my favorite parts of my day. This is something I will do for myself. Check back often. Leave me a message if you don't see something new posted! Make me accountable!
I will also be making updates on my Craft Blog which means I actually have to craft! Again, something I greatly enjoy and miss a great deal because it feeds my soul!
"Live" is my word for 2011, and I am going to enjoy and be grateful for every minute of it! My 5 goals are written, I have begun the preparations, and I will "Live" the days with a positive attitude and hopefully a continued forward momentum.
