Great Start to 2010
I'm happy to say that my outlook on life has kind of changed for 2010 and so far (7 days into it-LOL) I'm keeping to it and I've been a happy girl. I decided that I stress out too much on things that matter....but not as much as they should. Here are some things I've decided are going to change this year:
-Spend less time at work. I love my job but it has become my life. I even caught myself through the fall talking about it at times when I should have just been relaxing or talking about anything but work. I'm still going to strive to be a good teacher but I had forgotten that my priorities should be God-Family-Then Work. It had become the other way around for a while.
-Take time each week to keep in touch with people I miss. I always said I wasn't going to be 50 and think, "whatever happened to _______," especially when (whomever is in the the blank) was very close to me. I've been so busy that I have been feeling distance with some people I used to be very close to. I know that when you get married priorities change....but I can still do a better job.
-Quit stressing out when I don't get everyone done in the next day, hour, or minute.
-Spend more time with my extended family. I don't want to lose family members and think, "I should have......"
So far I've done an excellent job at the first three and just letting some things go has really made me happier! I need to have more time to make good on the last one....Hey, it's only been seven days. So, here's to continuing a less-stressed, more quality time 2010!
