January is almost over but I’m still pining for Christmas. I still have lights on my outside bushes because I just don’t want the reality of a long cold winter to set in; the end of the Christmas season always leaves me a little melancholy. Maybe I’m a bit sad because everyone takes down their decorations and the magic I feel this time of year slips away until next December. But there is something irresistible about a new year. I can’t help but feel like it’s a chance to begin again, start fresh. There is so much potential, so many possible adventures to have. Each year I sit down to think about all of the things I’d like to experience or learn, it seems like my options are endless.
I feel like this sums up my goals for each and every year of my life:
My goal in 2018 is to be filthy rich.
Rich in adventure
Rich in health
Rich in knowledge
Rich in laughter
Rich in family
Rich in love
This January I gave up sugar. All sugar. No carbs, no sweeteners of any kind, no fruit. It hasn’t been as difficult as I thought it would be. I had some cravings the first couple of nights but that’s really it. I’ve seen some positive results but I’ll write a full post once the month is up. Here are a few of my other goals this year:
- Spend more time outside– horseback riding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing….
- Host more dinner parties
- Take more baths
- Take time to really think about what makes me happy
- Pursue more interests– reupholstering chairs, cooking, decorating
- Be a better friend, wife, sister, daughter
- Feed my brain– read things I normally wouldn’t, ask more questions, pay attention, create something
I look forward to working on each one of these and I wish you luck with your resolutions!
XOXO
