New Years 2013 - sadness and resolutions

10:30 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
Today is the start of a whole new year and it is already a bumpy start. We rang in the new year in our traditional manner - a fun filled night of games and friends. We have been doing this for several years. Saddened that one of our good friends has moved away but happy for her and her fresh start and new beginnings.

After a late night and late morning start we receive a call that my grandma passed away during the night from pneumonia. It was quite unexpected, she was healthy when we saw her less than a month ago. Although she was in her 80's she was still quite active and lively. I am saddened by the loss and presented with the fact that my grandfather is the last of my grandparents alive. Our past where we came from seems to be hanging by a thread - so fragile. I am not sure what my grandfather will do, they had been together for at least 40 years.

My resolutions for this new year:

- make it great, rough start or not
- write, draw, and take a pic everyday - this is my stick with it resolution
- back to the gym and out of the stores
- stay on top of homework and tasks (giving more free time)
- use that free time with my girls and husband having fun
- eat at home as much as possible.

Long term resolutions for the year:

- move, at first in town but big goal is to a new state and a new adventure for our family
- graduate, this is well underway
- get a job, this is most nerve racking

In my goal to write daily, i hope to post here daily. Some days it will be thoughts and ramblings and some days I will use prompts to find my inspiration. I hope you visit often.
