As cliche as it sounds, I love New Years day. I feel like I’ve been handed a blank slate and I can write anything on it I’d like. It’s no secret that 2012 was a difficult year for me physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. But sometimes, the most beautiful things come from hitting rock bottom.
I’ve thought a lot about if I want to make resolutions, what my goals are. I believe they can all be summed this way: In 2013 I will be kinder to myself.
Today I blessed my body with movement.
I love the feeling of January 1st and the new year too! I’ve always looked at it as a new chapter in my book and I can write any story I feel like.
Many blessings to you and your family this year!
My 2012 was a lot like yours and I struggeld for months. I also had a lot of ups in the year in the form of celebrations and vacations and with that brought food. Bad food, and weight gain…lots of it! I too am going to be kinder to myself, it’s all we can ask.
I need a blank slate; somebody scribbled all over mine!
I like it a lot. +1 for a fresh mental approach! I’m setting the mantra that “I’ll be lean and clean in 2013″
That’s a great goal — I hope you are successful!
That is an awesome goal, Tricia!! Happy New Year!
LOVE THIS. I’m finding a lot of this around the blog world right now and it’s right where I’m at too.
2012 was awesome in that it brought us our 2nd and final child; but hard in nearly every other way. I struggled so, so much and it was so frustrating.
But now baby girl is 8 months old, I’m emerging from my post-partum haze, and so very excited for the clean slate of a brand-new year. And ready to treat myself as kindly as I would a best friend.
Wishing you well in the New Year, Tricia! Keep on keeping on.
What a wise and smart resolution! Good for you, Tricia!
Wishing you a healthy and happy, and kinder, new year
