Another year has come and gone. I do think that for a couple of years now it seems like I have been in some kind of funk. (By the way I looked up the word funk to see if I was using it properly in a sentence. No I do not mean a strong offensive smell but to be afraid of, to shrink back from an undertaking.) For the last two years I had two surgeries and have had a hard time with getting back to feeling like myself. I have not felt strong or fit – just old. Also, this year a good friend moved away and I have felt a little lost. We shared a lot together and since the move I realize how much I miss her. So since it is the first day of a New Year, I have decided that I am going to change my funk attitude. I am tired of feeling like life is speeding along at record speed and somehow I am being left on the sideline.
I love resolutions. I make them and break them just as fast. This year can I do it…make a resolution and keep it. I will make just one for now.
1. Lose 5 lbs.
I could really lose about 20 lbs. But decide for only five. So if I’m successful in January, I will try to lose 5 in February.
I have also thought of a word for 2016. I first thought of words such as kindness, thankfulness, and mindfulness. All good words but I decided that the best word would be time. I’m obsessed with not spending it well.
Well I’m wishing everyone a Annus Mirabilis (a remarkable or notable year) Year!
Imagine the possibilities!
Reflections 
Beautiful post Fae! Happy new year to you! My goal is to be kind and spread joy, I can be a downer, but this year I want to find people I can encourage! Love you bunches
Thanks for the encouraging words. And I’m glad you took the time to look at the blog. I have not been too active but thinking I might change that some this year. You do remember Emily’s nickname for me…DK aka Dream Killer so I know about being a downer. But it is a New Year and I am sure good things can and will happen. I’m thinking it is all in the way you look at it.
Fae
You can do it!!! 🎉 positive outlooks on life and how you approach a task can really help. It can also spread to other people along the way! You can do it!!!
Also I have already planned my 4th of July!!!
Woo Hoo! It has Friendswood written down!
Chris and I planned our entire 2016 vacation year …. that was a first! I have 2 days as float days too so I’m hoping to have 2 more Friendswood weekends on the calendar !
Happy 2016!!! 😉
I loved your New Year’s pictures. Yes, the 4th July is a must. I also agree we need to get two more weekends on the calendar. The only thing so far in 2016 is Emily’s graduation trip in the middle of May.
Thanks for reading and posting a comment. ❤️ Ya.
