Oh, hi. I'm still alive. I hope everyone had a very happy holiday season, and that you've all stocked up on wine...uh, I mean bread and milk...for the impending storm!
I was recently told by a friend that just because I go to Yale doesn't mean I can stop blogging. I did intend to keep up with my writing during my first semester, if only to document my experience for myself, but that didn't happen, unfortunately. My plan is to blog about the highlights of the past few months before the next semester begins, but for now I'd like to ease back into blogging with a quick post about my goals for 2014. And so, here they are:
1. Live in gratitude. Practice patience. Look for joy in the little things, every day.
2. Learn to knit!
3. Do as well this semester as I did last semester (or better!).
4. Establish a regular date night with my husband.
5. Get back into a workout routine, not because I "should," but because I need to remember to take care of myself.
6. Play with my kids as often as possible, and really LISTEN to them. It's easy to get caught up in what "needs" to be done and forget that they will only be little for a short time.
That's all for now, but hopefully this post will get the creative juices flowing again so I can get back on the blogging train. Stay tuned! :)
