2016 – and all that’s to come

So I took this whole ‘holiday from blogging’ thing seriously it would seem. While I didn’t fully stop working over the holidays, I reduced all my hours greatly but did spend time away from the blog. For no real good reason if I’m being honest. It was just a matter of time. I wasn’t on the laptop hardly at all so no posts were written. And that’s ok.

Letting go is one of the things I need to do more of in 2016. I did a better job of it in 2015 – forgiving myself for not having everything on my to-do list or wish list done – but that’s something I’ll continue this year.

What else do I want out of 2016? I kind of want it to be like 2015, just even better. Is that a lot to ask? Maybe. But 2015 was a pretty great year. My business is doing very well and I continue to work part time while filling my days with school volunteering, visiting family and friends and being in the kitchen (which I really do love). We traveled a lot in 2015 as a family and look forward to more of that. I was happy. I slept well. Admittedly, I still need to get moving more, but after taking Yoga classes last year I discovered that I want to do more.

I don’t need a carbon copy of 2015. I just want to build on the positive foundation that 2015 gave me and carry it into 2016.

That’s where I’m at right now. I’m settling back into a routine – a quiet house, healthier eating, more time to just read and relax – and I’m already feeling good about this year.

More to come I’m sure, I always have big plans ahead. But for now, my happiness is being found in the status quo. It may seem boring, but I kind of like that.

I hope your New Year is off to a great start!!!
