New year, new me?

Yup, it’s a new year, yes, everyone is talking about their resolutions…I don’t do resolutions. Resolutions are too easy to break. One slip and it's over and I join the statistics of failed resolutions. I don't like being a statistic.

Goals on the other hand can be fought toward, if you slip up, the next day is a new start toward your goals.

And so, my goals for 2013.

I have joined the Portland Fighting Fillies, a full contact women’s football team. I have joined this team with a few things in mind. I have thoroughly missed the atmosphere of being part of a team. There is something to knowing that the people you are working hard with will have your back no matter what. And these ladies are tough! My goal with joining this team is to get into shape so that the next time I run the ORPAT I will not end it gasping like a dying fish! 

I will get a new job. I have enjoyed my break from work and have been able to get myself into a better head space than I have been in a long time. I am feeling more confident, more mentally strong and more willing to take risks. 

And finally, I have the goal of being happy and content, of looking for ways to make a difference in people’s lives and finding ways to get out and enjoy life. We live in a cool city, we are young and now have time to have a bit of a life! I’m excited about where I’m at. 

Happy 2013 to you and your family! I hope you each have an amazing lucky 13!
