This year...

I will eat better
I will get in shape
I will learn how to sleep
I will drink more water
I will read more books
I will stop making excuses
I will be a better budgeter
I will toss the junk
I will declutter
I will organize my closet
I will start running again

It's 2011!!!!

Well let me start by wishing everyone a very happy new year! Aren't new beginnings wonderful? A time to forget the things you don't care to remember and move forward with high hopes and wonderful memories of a great year passed. A time to celebrate the accomplishments and set up some new goals. I read somewhere that being 2011 that it would only be fitting to pick 11 things you'd like to achieve this year. I haven't put a lot of thought into this yet, so I may have to revisit with this list.

As for the holidays this year, we stayed put in Calgary and celebrated with our Albertan family :). It was decently quiet but we kept busy for sure. Christmas Eve at out house with the family and friends that were available. Janelle made a delicious Christmas dinner, as usual :) Janelle & Troy also played host to a Boxing day get together. Lots of good food, drink and compny for sure! We rang in the New Year at a local pub we often frequent, The Kilt & Cabre, for a five- course dinner with DJ to follow. Lots of fun indeed!

So here I sit after taking down the tree and putting all traces of Christmas away in little boxes until next December. It has been a great holiday, but as always, the time passes much too quickly. Clint ships off to work tomorrow and I'm back to the classroom. I know that there will be a lot of great things happening in 2011 so I will do my best to embrace it. In the meantime, I'll be contemplating my list of goals and thinking of all the great things that I already know this year will hold.
