Happy New Year! I have been thinking of my words of the year for a few days. Last year my words were courage and freedom. I was talking with Mr. Bubbinsky and I told him I’m not sure how much my words were present in my year. Some things like taking on running definitely took a lot of courage but I’m not sure that courage and freedom were a thread throughout the year.

This year I need to find a way to keep those words in front of my face all year so that I can continue to remind myself that this year I will be DELIBERATE in everything that I do in order to create more BALANCE in my life.

If I learned anything in the last 4-1/2 months of 2012 was that I need to carve out time for me and the things that I enjoy to take care of myself. I need to do this for myself, for my kids, for my husband and for my mom. I know that I cannot care for all of them if I don’t care for myself first.
