Happy New Year’s Eve!
Fortunate Friday
- I am fortunate that my grandma was able to spend Christmas Day with her two sons, and four grandchildren, even at 96!
- I am fortunate that I was able to give presents to those close to me, and had amazing gifts given to me. Thank you everyone, I was spoiled and am super lucky. xo
- I am fortunate that I have two sweet cousins that are willing to sleep on my couches in order to spend Christmas with me.
Since tonight is New Years Eve, I thought I would take the time to brainstorm things to look forward to in 2011. I found this idea floating around on various blogs that I stalk/read and I traced it back to reverb10.com, a website that offers prompts for bloggers! So neat.
Here is the prompt from December 11, 2010: What are 11 things your life doesn’t need in 2011? How will you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life? (Author: Sam Davidson)
Here is my spin on things:
11 Goals for 2011
1. I am not going to gossip.
2. I am going to read (at least) one book a month
3. I need to learn to let go of things that I have no control over. Water off a duck’s back . . .
4. I am going to train to run a distance > 10k.
5. I am going to learn to be more forgiving and patient with others. They are not me, I am not them.
6. I am going to learn how to work on Cookies, Cupcakes and Cardio while balancing my full time teaching job.
7. I am going to stick with a gym routine that works for me. M/W/F 6:00am+ spinning = gym routine!
8. I am going to learn to be less selfish. This one is going to be difficult as I’ve been working this way for 32 years!
9. I am going to learn to work my Sony Alpha 200 DSLR camera and take (amazing) food pictures.
10. I am going to learn how to decorate beautiful cakes.
11. I am going to learn to accept criticism. Without hating the other person.
