I never make New Year's Resolutions, so here is an attempt:
Because my life is crazy busy like so many people, I am challenging myself with this blog to appreciate the little things in life that we take for granted everyday and yet can impact our lives in a great way.
I am sure there are others with lives more busy than mine. But with a busy life, it is too easy to loose site of the little things that matter.
How busy am I?
- I work full time. Unfortunately, my job doesn't stop at the end of the day, I need to get some work done in the evening to keep up. However, I do have a rule to close my laptop by 10 pm from work. I often need to spend a weekend day doing some work as well to plan. I love my job.
- I am an adjunct professor at a local college. I am planning and preparing for two new courses and will teach 1 in the summer and one each semester. Unfortunately, part of my weekend is spent preparing and correcting. I sometimes hate that I love teaching :)
- I am taking a semi on line class this year. It only meets 3 times and most of the modules are on line. Although I am behind, I catch up on vacations and days off for a holiday.
- I also have plans and designs on wanting to own my own business and have a couple ideas and working on collaborating with others to make it happen. It's slow but I am hopeful.
- Oh yes, I have 2 lovely children, one in college and one in high school.
On a scale of 1-10, I think I am at an 8 but sometimes feel like I am at a 13.
Most importantly, I have an extremely supportive husband that puts up with all of my ambitions. Thank God for that!
So this is my challenge to myself.
