we are officially into a new year. 2016! i can't even believe it. i remember being a kid and a year that started with a "2" sounded like a lifetime away. yet here we are fifteen solid years into the 2's. unreal. so this is a big year for me. in the year 2016 i will leave my 30's and enter the 40's (gulp) and i will officially have two teenagers (double gulp).
i was recently talking with a good friend who asked the ever dreaded question, "how are you?" i despise that question, because there really isn't a good answer. am i where i want to be in life? no. do i know how to fix that? not really. am i happy? mostly. do i know how to fix that? not really. do you see where i'm going? we talked a little about resolutions, something neither of us wholeheartedly partake in, and shared what our goals are for the year. i call them goals, because a resolution sounds like instant failure, but goals is something to work towards.
in previous years my not-resolution-resolutions have been to simplify, to be more spontaneous, to drink more water, and to be less plugged in. this year, i told my friend, my goal was to do things for me. said friend asked, "what does that mean?" to be honest i have no idea, but i am focusing on doing things that are geared just for me, that reduce my stress level, and things that feed my soul.
like previous years, i don't see this being a prolific blogging year. just highlights of the best things i am doing for me. obviously not all i'm doing for me, some of that stuff is not appropriate for public eyes, but the G - PG rated happenings of 2016. my crystal ball shows some really cool stuff for 2016: concerts, a long time wish come true, more red lipstick, and definitely some new adventures. stay tuned.
