Happiness to all for 2015
Every year I like to set some goals for myself. Unfortunately I am not as good at meeting those goals. Yet I am optimistic each year and I set them anyways. I took last years goals/guidelines and I updated them for 2015. I am not changing my core beliefs because I still value the same things. I just need to continue to focus on them and accomplish them. My ultimate goal remain the same:
Be The Best Version Of Yourself
How will I get there by focusing on four areas in my life: Healthy Living, Family, Home, School and Daily Reflection.
"Every little sacrifice you make daily will be a blessing later."
I am not sure where I found this quote but it will be my mantra for the year. I will be making lots of sacrifices in order to lead a happy and healthy life.

Healthy Living:
I feel like a broken record when it comes to this area each year but it continues to be true. This year the doctors have stepped in and given me guidelines to follow: gluten free, dairy free and citrus free. Thanks this sounds impossible. However I must do this for my family and myself. I need to be a healthy person in order to be happy and alive.
1. Reprogram Yourself to be Healthy
· Drink Lots of Clean Pure Water
· Go To Bed Early so you have time to Read-Think-Reflect
· Eat Natural Grown Healthy Foods……...move away from grains and sugar.
· Exercise Daily
· Take Vitamins
· Self Control and Discipline is a gift to you. I will avoid putting anything that is poisonous or toxic into my body.
Family
I try hard to put family first, except for one person, my husband. We always do work first. That needs to change. I am trying hard to make sure we spend some time together as well. I am also trying to get my work done at work so that when my children stop home I am able to visit with them. I want to set aside more time to spend with Haddie as well she is growing so fast.
School
I am still working on my yearlong plan to get my lesson plans to a point where I do not need to redo them each year, just update them. That will save a ton of time. I try my best to correct as much as possible at school during any break I get so I am not taking home a bag full of work. Also I need to do more during the summer, one project a day.
Home
This has been hard with the kids moving out. I still have one junk room to go through. I want to go back to setting up simple weekly goals that Joe and I can achieve. Downsize is the name of the game. Focus on one project at a time.
Reflection
Reading and blogging time have been nonexistent for the last several months. I am so busy working and doing housework I don’t have time to breathe or think of myself. This definitely needs to change. I need to stop house and school work at 8:30 and go back to exercising and reading.
In the past I made fancy charts of what I want to accomplish only to fall short on the lists. So instead I am making a list of things I want to accomplish each month. This is a working document so it will change as the year goes on. I even left the last several months empty to make room for new ideas.
