Wow.
Another year over, another one about to begin.
I've been thinking a lot about the new year and what I want it to be. The last nearly 4 years have been about pregnancy and babies - 2006: mostly pregnant, 2007: Josh born, 2008: pregnant and Zoe born, 2009: sleep deprived blur.
Might sound a little selfish, but I want 2010 to be more about me. I want to:
{get active}
{get healthy}
{achieve a healthy weight}
{do more things that make me happy like decorating my home, collecting handmade stationery as well as making some of my own for my family and friends}
{continue trying to buy gifts for people that are from small business or hobbyists for that extra personal touch}
{take time out to restore my relationship with my Creator which has fallen by the wayside primarily because of the last four years (see above!)}
{enjoy my friends more by socialising with them child free}
{take time out for manicures and pedicures because they are so indulgent and fun (I found a place last week that does both for $42!!)}
{go to more live shows}.
I won't be upset with myself if I don't achieve all these things in their fullness, but I want something to aspire to next year which involves redefining myself a little so I can be something much more than mummy.
Wishing you all a wonderful transition into the year 2010. xo

What wonderful plans - I'm looking forward to hearing all about the fabulous things 2010 has in store for you! I hope you have a wonderful evening. Thanks for sharing your world with us! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I think all too often we lose ourselves in being someone else - mummy, wife, worker etc.
ReplyDeleteYou will be better at all those things because you take time for yourself.
That sounds like my kinda 2010.... Have a great NYE!
ReplyDeleteyou go girl!!
ReplyDeleteMe? I just want to stay sane. And be a little more positive about life. I'm a lucky gal and just need to appreciate my life a little more!!
Happy new year
You've said exactly what I want to achieve in 2010. I want/need to focus a little more on me, I think it will also make be a better mum/wife/friend/daughter.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and happy new year!
I hear you. After 4 children in 5 years I agree on all above. Good luck, I will be trying too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic - you definitely deserve a year that is more about you! I hope you can achieve it all :)
ReplyDeleteyes I hear you! I've been pregnant or breastfeeding since 2005 and this year I would like a little me time!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure I'll get pregnant with number 4 instead and put it off till next year!!!
