2015 has brought a lot of new light to my life. 2014 was hard and I have heard a lot of the same for many of my peers. After a lot of hard thinking I decided my year would be a year of goals. From blogging to my personal life I am determined to make 2015 a better year. This post may be a little personal but hopefully many of you can relate.
This year starting off I hope to be at my lowest of lows. 2014 turned my life upside-down both for the worse and hopefully soon for the better. Let's start by reviewing 2014...
My daughter has grown immensely. The things she now says and does on a daily basis baffle me as a mother to see her learn so quickly. It gives me a lot of pride to know that she is on the right track and that this last year has been nurturing for her.
I found myself in ways I could never imagine due to a great friend who I will always thank for allowing me to concentrate on myself and supported me on my journey.
The creation of this blog has finally started pointing me into the direction I want to go. One of my biggest goals of my life was to run my own business so this will contribute to one of my goals for 2015.
I experienced life in a new way. For once a good portion of my year was spent carefree. Not to say I wasn't dealing with the day to day bustle of life of bills and parenting but I was able to appreciate things and reflect on the simpler things that make me happy making many of my days easier and more productive.
I firmly believe if you cannot appreciate the small things you will never allow yourself to be fully happy. You must do for you is one of the biggest lessons I learned this year.
I also experienced a great loss this year. I lost a great friend for the better but it has been a troubling time. The paths we choose sometimes steer us away from those we love and that is definitely another lesson I learned this year.
Ok. So maybe 2014 wasn't so bad but I guess it's the ending on a rough note that makes this post.
With everything that happened at the end of this year I feel it very necessary to set major goals and even little ones to accomplish throughout my year to make sure that 2015 will be better.
Goals of 2015
1. My daughter starts kindergarten in September this year which scares me to death but getting through the first day I am putting on the list since that will be a rough day.
2. To bring my blogging to a whole other level and make it what it deserves to be because I know I can do it. I know my potential and I have finally found my niche. I will not let it go to waste.
3. To become financially independent again. While for this last year I have been dependent on someone else I now not only need but really have the need to support myself and my daughter as I should. To some this might be nothing but for me it will be a great deal of work.
4. To some this subject is touchy but let me explain. My goal is to shoot a gun. I have always wanted too. I am very much a tomboy at times and my need to fight the female stereo-type gives me a burning passion to shoot a gun. Maybe I want to feel empowered. All in all it's just something I have to do (obviously in a safe environment, don't worry I'm not going to become a serial killer)
5. To get my body healthy. Attending all appointments for the dentist and the eye doctor are already in the process. I like to wait until the last minute which is kinda starting to kick me in the butt. Also drinking a bottle of water which I am doing with my sister.
6. To stop procrastinating!!! I am far too laid back at times and it's time to kick myself into gear.
7. My last goal is to make more goals throughout the year and to accomplish them. Also I want to keep record of them so I may better my confidence as I see my progress and accomplishments.
This year will be my year of improvement. 2015 will be better and I am determined to better my life and my daughters and make some long lasting effects.
I hope everyone can take something from this. Maybe an incentive for themselves. A little inspiration for 2015. Maybe you can relate yourself or maybe you know someone who is feeling the same way. Whatever the case "Cheers!" to making 2015 a better year.
