Here below is an excerpt from my blog entry exactly 1 year ago on January 1, 2013:
So for this year - I want to keep it going. I want to keep this body, mind, and spirit fit and healthy, and happy. I want to challenge myself in new ways. Some of what I am looking forward to this year are reading, writing, travel, more prayer and meditation,study, healthy living, Triathlon! Blessing and serving others starting with those closest to me. I make this not as a checklist as mentioned; but that it may become a way of life - My Way Of Life! Happy New Year! Bring it on 2013! Oh and as Bruce Lee says "There are no limits; There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them" So I'm going!
As I reflect on this and the year that has past, I have several thoughts and feelings running through my mind and heart. I feel blessed, content, happy, excited, accomplished, determined, and positive to name a few. I am not saying everyday was a perfect day - there were difficult times this past year. I have been through some hard and trying times with dear friends and family. I have seen tragedy and heartbreak come to pass for many - but through it all I see the human spirit persevere and of course love prevail!
I feel strong in body, mind, and spirit. I have read, written, traveled, studied and worked towards living a healthy lifestyle. I have had some firsts with overcoming fears and working towards goals and accomplishments. I have met some amazing new friends along the way and strengthened bonds and ties with old friends and forever family. So yes indeed 2013 was and will always be a blessing to me.
As I ponder the year ahead; I am once again excited to set goals, dream and WORK to make those dreams come true. I will do some things that are "hard" for me. I will have some "firsts" and continue to love and serve with all my heart and soul! So Bring it 2014!!!
Below is a little list I found on Pinterest that I thought would be a cool little guideline for me - There is ALWAYS room to improve and better oneself.
Happy New Year!!!
