Thoughts on the year ahead...

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude.” - Denis Waitley

I haven't really made any specific New Year's resolutions for 2015. Last year, I had my weekly green challenge, which was great and all, but now I'm burned out. I'm not really sure what I want to achieve this year, but I suppose I'll figure that out with time.

So far this year, we haven't done much. Today is the last day of a four-day weekend, and we'll be back at work tomorrow. We spent the first day taking down Christmas decorations, cleaning, and re-decorating the house. The next day, we finally got out and ordered our Christmas gifts to ourselves: a new sofa, recliner, and bedroom furniture. The bedroom furniture will be here Thursday; the rest will arrive in about five weeks. So excited! This has been a long time coming....

Writing

Yesterday, I did a little bit of writing and I'm hoping to do a little more today. As far as writing goals for this year, I think I'll just keep on re-publishing old Y!CN articles to my blogs, finish my children's ebook series, and work on some fiction stuff. I'm not going to set any huge goals for this year.

Fitness

I guess my sort-of fitness resolution for the year would be to keep on exercising daily. I was pretty bad about it with the holidays, traveling, and being sick, but now I think I'll be able to get back on track. Three days a week, I do cardio (usually Zumba on the Kinect); three days, I do yoga; and the last day used to be a break, but now I'm hoping to vary it up each week with Kinect games, walking, or whatever. I'm not going to set my goals too high because I know I'll give up if I do, but I'm hoping to lose a few pounds over the next few months.

Otherwise, I'll just see what the year has in store.
