A new day

Recently, a friend of mine told me I need to come back.

I was on hiatus. I wish I had good reason, but no. This is kind of what I do. It's sort of the story of my life. I begin something, am really excited about it then slowly lose interest or find something else that is more exciting and leave -what was- behind.

I initially wanted to post at the very beginning of January, but I am glad I didn't because it gave me some time to sort out my future goals.

I, personally, have an issue with making resolutions. Mostly because I never keep them. Never.

Jessica sent me an e-mail today with her 10 goals for the New Year, which gave me the kick in the butt I needed to put mine down in writing. However, these are my life goals, not just for the new year.

1) I will be more conscious of my intake AND my output.
-By this I mean that I will make a concerted effort to be aware of what I am putting into my body on a daily basis and I will give my energy back to to world -in this case exercise.

2) I will give more output or positive energy back to the world.
-By this I mean my attitude. I have been making an effort the past few weeks to say hello to all my co-workers in the morning. I am the WORST morning person and I usually get into work around 7:15 with a pretty crappy attitude. By starting with something small like saying "good morning" to others I am already feeling better about myself and my output. Now if I can do that when I first wake up (Tom would probably like morning Kate a whole lot more).

3) I will cook more of my meals and eat less of them "out."

4) I will tell myself everyday that I am not just good enough but fabulous.
-This, by the way, makes me FEEL fabulous.

5) I will wear earrings more often, because they make me feel pretty.

6) I will freak out about money less.
-This happens more than I care to admit.

7) I will read more.

8) I will tell the people that I love "I love you" more often.

And I think that this is a good start.

I am hoping to get back to blogging more often, not daily, but at least a few times a week.

So that's it for today. I have a snow day tomorrow, and have several blog topics to explore. Stay tuned.

Also! I want to tell Jessica that I LOVE HER! And I am so glad that I made my way into your goals for the year! xoxo
