Wow! How quickly did 2012 pass us by?! Christmas is just around the corner and I feel like I didn't even get a chance to enjoy Halloween! I was listening to Oprah the other day and they were speaking about making the most of every moment. I have to say that I haven't really sat back to do that this year. Instead, it's been rush, rush, rush! Aaron's martial art business, my transitioning still to the new investment firm, Trinity's commitment to dance competition, and Aaron being a teenager!!! On top of that having a family member living with us and starting a web business myself! Whew!!
With so much "life" happening, we have seemed to put off the little things that matter most. Most of my day consists of working at the office, playing taxi, and coming home to work on the new biz. I feel like I've been neglecting Aaron, the kids, the dogs, and my health.
So, with that said...I'm going to challenge myself to taking the month of December and enjoying each moment!
My goals:
To come home and commit to 1/2 an hour tea time with hubby. We have a beautiful deck and outdoor patio, we barely use. We have an ocean view I barely see...all this will soon change! :)
Homemade dinner 6 out of the 7 nights. I'm Italian, and Italian's have the most fun in the kitchen and at the table! I believe food touches all of our souls and brings out love and laughter!
Back to Family Home Evening's! Once a week, for an hour, to sit down as a family and play games, talk about our week, maybe even go for a walk!
Speaking of Walks....the BEACH!!! My dream was to always live by the beach! How many times a week do I go to the beach?! Almost never! What a shame when it's right down the street, so another bit of enjoyment that I need to add to my December list :)
But most importantly, taking the time to show my God, family, and friends how much they mean to me. Whether it's a few minutes or hours each day engaging in conversation or just listening makes all the difference!
Happy Holidays! -Natalie
