So, I am working out again and that is about it…

I haven’t been writing in my journal religiously, or reading my Bible as much as I wanted or getting a lot of work done. But, my cough is getting better and I worked out 2 days this week! So yay!!! This whole “trying to better myself in 10 different ways at the same time” thing is really a lot of work!

Are you guys meeting your goals or visions for yourself right now? I am the kind of person that has great ideas and great intentions, but I tend to do really well on a few things, but not on more than a few things at a time. If I am writing regularly and working out, then my other goals fall by the way side.

I admire people like one of my friends on Instagram called theglamuniversity. She just did this awesome woman’s empowerment and business event that is a sleepover and all of the tricks of the trade are taught by powerful successful women like her. She is writing a book, she is expanding her empire. She is getting in shape. She is becoming a mogul! I am so happy for her! But how do people do it?

I am not trying in any way to compare myself to others but all I can say is that I am a decent multi-tasker, but not when it comes to major life changes. I guess I will just take it one day at a time and do the best I can to master or keep up with a few things in my life that mean the most. Then perhaps I can spend a little time on everything else. How do you guys get motivated or stay motivated? Tips, please!!

Today was a good day-not quoting Ice Cube :)

Today was decent. We drove to Maryland to hang out with a family that we met through my daughter’s acting. It was a decent time with a yummy lunch. Then we came back to our neck of the woods and stopped at Starbucks for the 2nd time of the day. Ugh-I have to cut down in 2015. Then we came home and I watched cable from my tablet while my kid played with a neighbor. Then I cooked dinner, we went to a Christmas lights display at a local botanical garden and it was gorgeous. Then we came inside and sat by the fire and had smores. It was nice to come in from the cold and rain and sit by the picturesque fire, but after a couple of mini-smores, I was done. I don’t know how people eat a lot of that stuff-yuck. Then we came home and looked at pictures and my kid went to bed late. It was her last late night for awhile.

I am totally being a bad person, but I am skipping choir and church tomorrow. I want to sleep and chill and clean up and enjoy our last day not having to get up early and not being on a schedule. I really enjoyed today, actually this whole week. It is the first time in years that I have had days that I have slept until 11:30 or 12:00. I love simple things like writing in my journal and sleeping in and watching movies and playing games. This is been a good day and tomorrow will be even better because event though I have obligations at church, we are going nowhere at all.

I think that sometimes taking time to just enjoy chilling out with loved ones is just as spiritually nourishing and healthy as going for a run or attending church. I have decided from this point on to not overbook and to enjoy every day as much as I can with my child because before I know it, she will be grown and living her own life. I hope that you all take time to smell the roses in 2015 and realize that simple things can equal up to a good day, month or year.
