We had a fabulous time ringing in the new year! We met friends at our country club and had a wonderful night filled with great food, drinks, live music, dancing and fireworks. My dear brother was in town to watch Tech's bowl game and babysat Charlotte for us. She was so happy to have fun Uncle Jason here and it worked out perfectly for us too! THANKS AGAIN!!
We are already one week into 2011 and things are going well. Like most people, my "typical" New Year's resolutions are to workout more, cook at home more, save more money (i.e. {yes, Justin, I do know what that means} spend less) and to stay organized. But because it's a new year, a fresh start, I want to take it a little further than "typical".
Though those are fine resolutions, it's the meaning and purpose behind the resolutions that make them "typical" and that's what I want to be different.
So, I want my workouts to not be focused on fitting into that tight pair of jeans, but because I want to be healthier on the inside. And, I want to cook at home more, not only to save money (which that will help because we spend way TOO much on going out to eat) but because I want to focus on family time and enjoying my little helper that LOVES preparing the food. I want to save more money because I want an added security blanket, not because I'm swooning after a hot new purse. Also, I want to stay organized because it makes me happy. I don't want to succumb to the laziness that often plaques me when putting things away. I recently heard Nate Berkus say that his home is always ready to be photographed. Now.... I know that the only photographing at my home is going to be done by me, but I LOVE the principle of his statement and want to incorporate it into my daily living.
And finally, although not mentioned above, I want to embrace the art and beauty that are all around us by slowing down, breathing deeper, and praying with a sincere heart and mind.
What are your New Year's resolutions?
