Here's to 2013!

I think we all know I don't really do resolutions.  I'm a rebel like that.  I prefer goals... 'cuz you know it's probably going to take me more than a year to get some stuff done!

This year one of my main goals is simply to live a less stressful life.  I'll still get the same amount of things done and no one has died yet by my lack of ability to get-it-all-done (to my knowledge) so I'm going to attempt to just not stress about it... Wish me luck!

I hope that it will help me in the near term not have as many nursing issues and perhaps if I'm not stressing about the things that are un-done I can actually go to bed earlier instead of feeling like I have to stay up and get things done and then not getting anything done anyway.  We'll see if my theory holds up under pressure!

The other main goal is simply to enjoy my family.  As Cory's been in school this fall I realize I have less and less time with him - even though it's still only half a day.  I still have lots of projects and things I want to do as well as things that have to get done (hello, laundry), but I want to be more intentional about just being with my children rather than having them around while I do things.

Hopefully I'll still have lots of time to take pictures; of them and other things, but more of them may not end up on the blog.  We'll see!

So I guess what I'm saying is, the blog may not be a very big priority this year.  Not the way to "make it" in blogging, but in the end that's not really what matters so I'm okay with that.

So here's to a year of less stress and more presence and hopefully we all make it to the other end!
