Excited about Life!

I'm feeling a little groovy - as in, I'm starting to feel like
I'm finding my own groove.
Whereas I've been on the search for something, I'm moving past
that and I'm setting personal goals - lots of them - not to be
overwhelming, but to give me a lot to focus on, because full
plates are better than empty ones.
So, with that being said, I'm recommitting to my long-term
health and weight loss (I was doing well, but after my last
pregnancy, any and all progress that I had made disappeared).
I'm also looking forward to starting school and finishing my
degree, getting my family's finances on track (SO CLOSE!!),
getting my toddler potty-trained, and investing some more time
and energy and money into MYSELF. I always put myself last, but
I'm beginning to realize that the best way to raise strong women
is to set the example for them.
So, I plan on making an appointment to add some highlights to my
hair and give myself a new cut, get a facial (never done this
before, but my skin went nuts with my hormones last year and
hasn't improved yet), get a manicure and to make these things
regular to-dos for myself if I enjoy them.
Also, I'm going to schedule other things I enjoy with my family
- trips to the park, long walks, trips to the mountains, etc.
We've fallen into such a rut that it's become a disruption if we
have to go to Walmart to get extra formula on a Thursday - which
is fine with a newborn, but my youngest is now 5 months, and
this mama has gotten a terrible case of cabin fever!
So, long story short, I'm going to start trying to live each day
intentionally. Every day won't be perfect, but each day could be
better, and that's what I'm after. :)

You are so inspiring! I too have set many of the same goals,
but in my case, it's an empty nest :). No more excuses.

I think I missed this first time around; yes, how are you doing?
