truckin’

 

007ps

I’ve been trucking along this year.  I’m glad to put January and it’s weather behind us.  I’m trying to take stock and keep on top of my resolutions.   You may remember that I thought if I kept going back to what I wrote, I might stick it out longer. 

On the plus side, I am going to sleep a little earlier most days, and I am still organizing away (I do a little at a time rather than a whole bunch at once), and still working on the French.   On the downside, weather has put a big damper on my exercise plans.  The 365 photo project was a dud.  But then, I take so many more photos than that every year, I am not too disappointed. 

I am definitely making an effort to be present and enjoy the moment more. We’ve made more family time, even though we were pretty good at it before.  It’s just that I’m super conscious lately of how fast these days are going.  And finally, I am still buying myself some pretty flowers now and then, including these beauties for my desk today.  I think I’m doing OK so far. 

Best,

Stephanie

  1. you are going great so far. i have been going to bed earlier too. and organizing has been good. but like you the exercise is not so good. i hate to say it, that is just not a priority for me. i wish i had the workout gene, but i don't. i know when spring comes i will go for walks again, but for now, nope.

  4. I think you are doing a good job. You kinda sound like me....some things are going well and some are falling by the wayside. I think this weather is horrible and doesn't help us with our mood. Keep buying the flowers.

  5. No one realizes how fast time goes until you are older. I ask myself each day what happened to yesterday. I treasure every day. You are going to be just fine. Sometimes it just takes longer to reach our goals. Flowers will brighten any day.
