So, the new year is fast approaching and I wanted to share my new years resolutions or goals for the coming year. I am going to keep it simple.
Give some time to my favorite hobbies-photography and scrapbooking. I love these pastimes and I would like to devote some good time to them.
Exercise on a regular basis. I never say I diet because I really feel diets are useless. The term alone gives restrictions and we all know what happens when you say no you can't have that....you want it even more! My weakness is chocolate, but it also makes me weak! So, I do limit it. Having a high energy, high stressed job (at times) exercising on a routine will definitely help to keep me balanced and also improve my overall health.
Lastly, devote some time to practice the Spanish language. This one is difficult, but I think I can do it. Being of Hispanic descent and not being a fluent Spanish speaker is difficult. It's almost as if you MUST know it since you have a Spanish surname. Being I am 5th generation born in the United States, the Spanish language was lost-there is a story to that. (I may share later.) My parents, grandparents, and elders know the language, but it wasn't passed on past their generation. So, most of my cousins do not know it. Funny, I may be one of few of my cousins that know the most! That's scary! Regardless, I do feel it is important to know more than one language. Why not let it be Spanish? :)
So there, these are my goals for the year. Let' see how I measure up in the end. This ought to be interesting.
Here I am wishing my dear husband, loving children and all my family and friends another prosperous new year. May the 2012 year be a blessed one.
Taken from a dear friend's FB quote that I love:
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgiven past.
