Feels different than 25, that's for sure. Maybe its the impending 3-0 which I can already feel bearing down on me with so many goals and experiences left untouched.
On that note, here are my goals for this next year of my life:
1. Get healthy(ier).....lose weight, eat better, take my vitamins, floss :)
2. Finish the book I've been writing...(if you call writing slow painful jotting down of snidbits)
3. Work on my art: hone in my style, develop a marketing plan and go for it!
4. Give up fear and take risks - creatively, physically, emotionally
5. Start taking action in things I care about
6. Spend more time and connect more with those I love
7. Get some in-progress around-the-house/yard projects done! (aka my wedding scrapbook)
So those are my goals - I'll report back in a year. :)
And now I have to share my two favorite gifts this year, which I'm thrilled about:
#1 - This cookbook:
I was so touched to receive something supportive of my new lifestyle. Not to mention I'm really excited to have some incredible recipes and ideas on hand now! The book is awesome - its huge and has thousand of recipes! Literally! (Thanks Rach! aka lovely blogger of http://rdkphotography.blogspot.com/)
#2 - These little furballs:
Introducing Thomas O'Malley and Isabella!
My "gift" from my hubby. Although, they're not really a "gift" as its something we've been considering for awhile. But we both wanted to rescue a cat as we have the space and room and as it neared my birthday we decided to go for it....so really, its more like the money spent to adopt and spay/neuter them was my "gift".
We planned on just getting one, Isabella, but after corresponding with the adoption coordinator and finding out she was bonded to another cat - we ended up with Thomas too! (And I'm so glad we did - they adore one another!)
Our other 2 cats are adjusting, slowly, but with much hissing. But eventually we hope to be back to our harmonious household.
(And now, you're scratching your head thinking we're crazy cat people as we have 4 cats! yes, we know we are crazy. But when we heard how bonded they were and saw his adorable face - we couldn't leave him. So now, we have to spend more time cleaning but on the other hand we get more kitty cuddling, love and laughter.)
Cheers!
PS - If anyone is looking for a pet - please consider adopting one. There are thousands out there that need homes - purebreds, mutts, mixes, old, young. Take a look here:
