It’s already January 5th, 2014.  Holiday’s were nice, although they came too fast and went even faster.  Christmas was spent at home with just our little family.  Hubby got me a new lens!  Super excited about it.  He also got me a remote car starter.  Love him to pieces for that.  I will never get used to New England weather.  For example, today it was literally 0 degrees.  Tomorrow will be in the 40s and Monday in the 50s.  The nights always drop to the teens.  Crazy.  Just crazy.  I keep on hinting to move us someplace it’s always warm but I don’t think that idea is flying.

For New Year’s we went out with hubby’s co workers.  It was a fun night.  We went to XO Cafe in Providence.  Nice little spot.  Food was amazing.  But it’s already the 4th and I haven’t even gotten a chance to sit down and reflect and think about what I would like for 2014.  So I decided to do that here and now.

What would I like for 2014?

Health and Happiness always comes to mind.  I’m one of those on again off again health freaks.  Hopefully I can stay on longer than off this year.  I would like to focus more on the positive and learn to let go of the negative.  I am one of those worry about everything and think of the worst possible scenarios so I never get let down because I already assumed the worst.  But I realized it just makes me miserable because I’m in my own head too much and I don’t enjoy the now.

Business.  I would like my business to flourish.  I want to get out there and connect and market with people.  Other photographers, brides, moms, business owners.  Everyone.  I’d also like to book a wedding.  The overly romantic, small, intimate, vintage inspired, beautiful wedding.  That’s my type of bride.  I would like to be able to make profit this year since last year was just setting everything up.

Faith.  I would like to build my relationship and my faith in God.  I have this bad habit of being in survival mode.  I know that God would never give me something he didn’t think I could handle but I tend to take everything on my own shoulders instead of relying on him for the strength.  I need to grow in my faith.

Relationships.  My relationship with my husband needs a little spark.  We both work so much and have so much on our plates that we miss each other.  I just want to play around with him all day like we are still teenagers in love.  I want to forget about being a serious adult all the time and just laugh and be carefree.  Same with my children.  I get so overwhelmed with my 4 boys.  But I need to just stop.  I need to realize that these moments won’t last forever.  I need to let the house be messy.  I need to just let them be kids.  I need to stop being such a perfectionist all the time and just live.

I just want to cherish each and every moment this year.  No matter where God takes me I want to love it.  I want to just sit back and enjoy my life for what it is.  I don’t want to want anymore.  I just want to be.

So cheers to 2014.  May you all have happiness and good health!
