Reflecting

I was thinking of what my new resolutions were going to be for the next year. I think I did pretty well with the last ones.

I think that I have accomplished a couple of those. Its a continuous process on being healthier. I did allow a few doors to close on a few dreams of mine in order to try something new or challenging in my life. I've let a few people go in order to have a healthier mind and be more confident and secure in my life. If I am to be honest, I have some regrets in some of the choices I made- or maybe regret is the wrong word, but I wonder if sometimes I made the right decision. But God has a plan and even if it was a wrong decision, the outcome with be the same, it may just take a little longer. 

I ended the year with a little less debt and I am still working on that for this next year. I struggle to slow down and spend time with more people. I took a new job thinking I would be home more but I just traded the 1-3 hour drive into an 1-1.5 rush hour commute. That will change come April and maybe I'll have more time to learn to sew, scrapbook, or get back to training for a half. 

I think this year my theme is going to be about having a new me. I feel like this is going to be my year. I have my goals and I'm working on them and I have people in place to encourage and keep me moving steadily onward.

For 2016 I want to do the following:

End the year healthier than I started
End the year with a little less debt
Spend more quality time with those I care about
Visit Alaska and cross something off my bucket list
Bake bread and learn to make scones
