A part of January is spent reflecting about how the previous year, the new year, about ourselves and are we happy with everything. I've been thinking a lot lately. My goals have been set. Looking at last year I would consider it a good year. For 2012 I'm wanting to be better. In both health and mind. I want to nurture my marriage. As I've been rolling everything around in my mind I've come to a few conclusions....
Being constantly exhausted is extremely challenging.
I need to focus on serving my little family.
I need to be present in my life.
Balance is going to be incredible important and key to becoming a better me.
I've read some beautiful posts about balance and rearranging priorities the past few days. Those darling ladies put to words exactly what I've been thinking about. I believe I'm too 'plugged' into the internet/apps. For example Facebook. I think it's a great way to keep in touch to friends and family. BUT I can't count the times I refresh my feed on my phone because I am bored during the day. How often Mitch and I are relaxing in the evenings and we are both glued to our phones.... I can't say I'm proud of it. Yesterday I was at work and finally deleted my Facebook app. It was very freeing. Twitter followed this morning. I need to remind myself that it doesn't matter if I know the recent updates of statues. The internet can wait. I am going to allow myself to check all the status updates from my computer if I so feel inclined. I believe this will be a step in the right direction.
Another goal is when Cezar, Jake or Mitch need attention I need to put down anything that I am doing and focus on them.
If I need to rest, I need to allow myself too. Turn of the TV, set down my phone, close the blinds and rest.
My goal for my little blog... It will stay true to me. The good, the bad, the challenges, the beauty.
I need to do more things that I love!! I don't want to waste my life not enjoying every moment.
all these things will allow me to move forward... allow me to become a better me.
I look forward to being a better me this year!

You are getting wiser day by day. Yes, living in the moment is key as well as living in gratitude. I can't say it enough--counting blessings daily makes all the difference in a happy life. Learning to recognize them in yucky times is even more important.
You can do this. You can do hard things.
