2012 has just begun and everyone is ready to live life to the fullest with no excuses. With most people, this will last a few weeks. Some it's already over. But there are those that stick to their goals and make it through the year having lived a full year and made many a memory. I hope to find myself in that last category.
Will I slip back and have a day or two that are off track? Probably. But as long as I can get right back on, I'll consider it a success. Things happen, plans change, but a curvy road is a lot easier to stay awake on then a straight one. There may be mountains that seem to high or valleys that seem to never bottom out, but each day is a new start and we can choose to start with a positive outlook or not. It's a choice.
So, what's my choice today?
Today, I choose to be present with my kids and to enjoy some quality time, not only quantity. Being a SAHM there is a lot of quantity, sometimes to much to be honest, but quality time can be at a minimum.
Today, I choose to eat what ever I feel like, regardless of it's health benefit. That may not be the best choice, but I don't have any excuses for it. I like cookies and bean dip. That's all.
Today, I choose to get to bed early so I can be up in enough time to run tomorrow before going to the dentist. I hope I stick to that choice and don't choose to sit in front of the tv instead. I could use some more sleep.
It's all about our choices. Choose to act or not to act. To eat or not to eat. To do or not to do. To be or not to be. (I had to throw that one in there!) What's your choice?
