Massages and Bubble Baths

Yesterday ended a 4 day weekend for me... I achieved a lot in those 4 days...

- worked from home a little
- went on a lunch date with my kiddo
- went on a lunch date with my girls at Ikea
- finally took down Christmas decorations
- made some major headway on the great purge of 2012
- dropped a lot of bags off at the Goodwill
- and the best part was when I treated my self to a massage, followed by a hot bubble bath...

Yep- I need to take 4 day weekends more often...

2012

this is the year i will commit less so that i can do more. i will not clutter my days with nonsense. with filler activities. i will take more photos. i will take photos of people and places and things. i will put photos on the walls. in frames. i may even turn those photos into the calendar i say i will create every year. i will put photos to paper and glue. sometimes it will look like a masterpiece, and sometimes i will just look like i put photos to paper and glue. i'm ok with this. i will create. just to create. i will make things. i will paint things. i will sew things. i will knit things. and i won't care if i'm the only one who likes it. i won't care if there's not a reason to make it. if i like it, if i want to make it, then i will. this is the year i won't commit to a diet. but i will commit to trying to eat better. i'll try to make heathy decisions. sometimes i'll succeed. sometimes i won't. and that's ok. i won't commit to working out everyday. but i will commit to moving. to being active. to push my trx training a little more each time i go. i will commit to getting stronger. this is the year i will fall in love. out of love. or not at all. and through it i will still put myself out there. and some days that will suck. and somedays it won't. and that's ok. this is the year i will travel. sometimes close. sometimes far. but i will get on a plane. or in the car. sometimes i will go alone. sometimes with others. but always with a sense of adventure. this is the year i will keep it simple. i will surround myself with things that bring meaning. and inspiration. or beauty. or makes me feel beautiful. or brings me closer to a goal. this year i will focus on my core. yes physically. but also in my mind. in my heart. with the friends i keep. the relationships i nurture. everything starts with your core. this i believe. yes this is the year.
