Like most I am now looking toward the new year and making my "New Year's Resolution". This is going to be MY YEAR. Like most mother's (I think, hope, please say I'm not alone...) I lost myself when I had kids. Everything went into them, my house, and my husband. I lost my self confidence, lost my selfishness, and my vanity. Now please don't miss read this last statement. I have never been a Diva. My routine was never more than minimum on the daily front with a little extra for evening outings. For the last 6 years I forgot what make-up was, became clueless when it came to my hair, and don't even get me started on my wardrobe. Let's just say; as long as it wasn't covered in baby spit up it was nice.
MY YEAR, a.k.a. 2010, is about getting back on track. Luckily, I started a bit early. My goal is to finally get my body back. This entails losing the rest of the baby weight, a breast reduction surgery to alleviate my back problems (and let's face it after nursing 3 kids who wouldn't want to help the girls out?), and adding in activities that make ME happy. My reward will be a long weekend with the girls in a beach-y environment.
I will actively move forward with my career by transitioning into studio owner and teacher trainer. My year will have me making time to pursue the thinks I miss; the things I'm good at, and if I'm not good at them then call it- the things I love to do. I will not apologize for this.
I'm telling myself it's okay to think about what I want once in a while.
