The older I get, the more time seems to speed up. I look back on 2016 and it was pretty good to our family. I turned 30, Fred and I celebrated 10 years of marriage in Mexico, we went on a fun trip to Zion, Macie turned 1, Caleb turned 8 and was baptized, we got a dog, Fred got promoted... so many big and fun things. We are very blessed.
I have no idea what 2017 will bring and that's exciting. It makes me optimistic. I'm going into 2017 with 2 main focuses: 1. Enjoy the Moment and 2. Be Happy Now. It will be a year of discovering real happiness within myself and becoming more comfortable and happy with my life in general.
I used to get so sad on New Years Eve because that meant change and change was always hard for me. It still is. But I'm not sad anymore. Time goes by too fast to worry about the future or about things that don't really matter. I need to forget about that and just enjoy the present. I need to become less stressed, give out more responsibility to our kids and use my time wisely. That means less social media. More time in the moment.
Like I said, 2016 was pretty good to us. I know I am capable of so much more than I realize and I want to push myself to be better and do better in 2017.
At the end of the day, we're happy, healthy, and we have each other. There is no greater treasure than that.
Bye, 2016! Thanks for the memories!
