How is 2011 treating you so far?!

We are 6 days into 2011 and I already feel like I'm "better" then I was in 2010. I'm more involved in my church, I'm working out, I'm drinking way less soda, I'm getting more sleep, and I could go on and on. That's how my 2011 is going.

This weekend is my oldest's birthday. So hard to believe that he is going to be 8. Makes me sad b/c within a few yrs I won't be "cool" anymore and he'll choose to do things other then hanging with Mom. I won't be the cool one to hang with anymore..he'll have friends to do that with. I've cherished all this time with him so much and I can already see him growing into a young man.

Where does time go?

So my plan was to blog everyday and so far I've struggled. My life doesn't go back to normal til February I find myself struggling to get Christmas stuff away just in time to plan 3 birthday parties in January...so instead of getting completely back to normal this week I've spent my week putting Christmas away and preparing my home for 4 boys that will be staying with us Friday night to celebrate Grant's birthday. Then for our family party on Sunday. Only to tell everyone as they leave that we will see them in a few weeks for my daughter's party as well as my husband's. I'm ready for a long break come February 1st! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world but really where does time go?

Happy 2011

But really...how many people in this world came into 2011 with happiness? Last night drinks were passed and kisses were shared but then after the five minutes of screaming Happy New Yr most people went back into that same mode they were before the left to go to their New Yr's Eve party. Life isn't always happy.

As I embark on the new yr I'm trying my best to look at it in a new light. Each yr I set my resolutions and then something upsets me and I throw them out. So this yr I have goals and ideas in mind that quietly I'm going to work on. Why broadcast your choices only to have someone point out later that you failed. Besides if only you know then you can only disappoint yourself, right?

So I welcome you to the new yr and hope that all your goals are quietly made so you can be proud of yourself down the road for accomplishing them .

God has blessed me with so much this past yr. Many things need to be worked on and in time it will.

Welcome to 2011.
