A New Year-what do you want to achieve ?
Thought I would post about my goals and hope you will share yours. Sobriety being top of the list.(for all of us)
Here are mine:
* becoming sober- started that onjan1st(8 days now)and continuing every day to become a sober person for life!!! (Thank you SR friends!!)
*being a more present parent- rather than being not present after 9 pm anymore,being and doing more with my kids. Wether it's talking, watching tv, or being the parent to pick up late(which I never was). I want them to know I'm here for them and a present parent 100% , not just when drinking isn't happening.
*becoming healthier:working out again for me and setting goals for me. I have been a big runner in past,so get back to training and hit a PR ( a personal record). Why not 44means nothing.im going to be the best 45!
Giving back:the money wasted on wine ... Giving some to a good cause and volunteering
What do you want for a better you?

*Learning to relax more and be appreciative/grateful for the people/things in my life instead of comparing and living in the "what if" mode.
(I signed up for yoga/meditation classes to help with this)
*Cook more with my BF.
Once a week I want us to take turns picking out healthy recipes to make with each other. Have some fun with it!!
*Try to re-connect with some old girlfriends. I'm missing having girlfriends in my life. I hope they are willing to make the effort as well to get together more often and stay in touch.

Was driving to work and a new song by one republic came on ( not sure everyone knows this group). Called "I LIVED" and made me tear up in a really good way. To 2015 May we all live it and our life to its fullest!
