well, so much for blogging over break. :)
2009 is here. Here is what I hope to do/be in 2009:
happy with how my life has been and is going.
thankful for God's blessings.
healthier and more fit.
a completer of a half marathon.
a homeowner.
more spiritually disciplined.
a more regular blogger.
Hopefully I will check back in a few weeks and all this will not have gone by the wayside. Isn't it sad that in my first reactions of my new years resolutions, not one thing has to do with my job? I am so out of teacher mode. I would like to tell that to the 200 or so papers sitting on my coffee table waiting to be graded. However, they do not seem to listen.
Hmm... what to do.... sleep? possibly....

Christmas time is here!
So I decided this morning there is no reason to not be blogging over break. No excuses is my motto for these next two weeks. No excuses to not inwardly examine things by blogging. No excuses not to work out. No excuses not to do fun things with my friends and family.
This motto, however, has already got me feeling pretty overwhelmed. I feel like now that I am telling myself this, others should expect so much more of me. I mean, shouldn't I live my life this way all the time? Shouldn't I give my all every day to God and the people around me?
Back in high school and college, this was my motto every DAY. I feel like I had so much more energy then. Could it be that the responsibilities of life are weighing me down? Could it be that I have actually turned into a dreaded, boring adult? This is my biggest fear! (Besides, of course, getting a flat tire on the road and not knowing what to do!)
Waking up early this morning after falling asleep very early last night has me really thinking about this. How can I take time for myself, yet still give my everything to God and others? I am struggling in my mind to find a balance...without getting bitter toward others because I am giving too much of myself away....
