It’s already January 5th, 2014. Holiday’s were nice, although they came too fast and went even faster. Christmas was spent at home with just our little family. Hubby got me a new lens! Super excited about it. He also got me a remote car starter. Love him to pieces for that. I will never get used to New England weather. For example, today it was literally 0 degrees. Tomorrow will be in the 40s and Monday in the 50s. The nights always drop to the teens. Crazy. Just crazy. I keep on hinting to move us someplace it’s always warm but I don’t think that idea is flying.
For New Year’s we went out with hubby’s co workers. It was a fun night. We went to XO Cafe in Providence. Nice little spot. Food was amazing. But it’s already the 4th and I haven’t even gotten a chance to sit down and reflect and think about what I would like for 2014. So I decided to do that here and now.
What would I like for 2014?
Health and Happiness always comes to mind. I’m one of those on again off again health freaks. Hopefully I can stay on longer than off this year. I would like to focus more on the positive and learn to let go of the negative. I am one of those worry about everything and think of the worst possible scenarios so I never get let down because I already assumed the worst. But I realized it just makes me miserable because I’m in my own head too much and I don’t enjoy the now.
Business. I would like my business to flourish. I want to get out there and connect and market with people. Other photographers, brides, moms, business owners. Everyone. I’d also like to book a wedding. The overly romantic, small, intimate, vintage inspired, beautiful wedding. That’s my type of bride. I would like to be able to make profit this year since last year was just setting everything up.
Faith. I would like to build my relationship and my faith in God. I have this bad habit of being in survival mode. I know that God would never give me something he didn’t think I could handle but I tend to take everything on my own shoulders instead of relying on him for the strength. I need to grow in my faith.
Relationships. My relationship with my husband needs a little spark. We both work so much and have so much on our plates that we miss each other. I just want to play around with him all day like we are still teenagers in love. I want to forget about being a serious adult all the time and just laugh and be carefree. Same with my children. I get so overwhelmed with my 4 boys. But I need to just stop. I need to realize that these moments won’t last forever. I need to let the house be messy. I need to just let them be kids. I need to stop being such a perfectionist all the time and just live.
I just want to cherish each and every moment this year. No matter where God takes me I want to love it. I want to just sit back and enjoy my life for what it is. I don’t want to want anymore. I just want to be.
So cheers to 2014. May you all have happiness and good health!
