New Year... New Ideas


Hello everyone! I know it has been a long time, but with all of the babysitting, holidays, and relaxing after a very tough semester. But now that it is a new year and there are a few things I will be working on. I hate the term of "New Years Resolution" because I automatically associate that with half ass work.

A friend and myself decided that we shall make a yearly bucket list. A list of things to get done before the end of the year. It could be life changing things or something as simple as going on a picnic on a spring day (which is definitely going on my list).

After going through a very difficult year I think that creating a list like this will give me things to think about when I am overwhelmed. With all of the bad things that are going on in the world I think that focusing on little wins will help my over all view on life. If any of you are out there and want to do the same thing or are just looking for something to turn stress into a smile I suggest you look at this amazing blog.

Also I hope that everyone prays (if you are religious) for all of the people in Haiti. Thousands of people have died or lost loved ones because of the earthquakes. To donate money go here, anything you can give will help so many.

Have a good weekend, and have a happy Martin Luther King Day.
