2013 In Review

2013 flew by way too quickly and life is quite different as we start 2014. When I set my 2013 Goals, I knew there were a great many demands on my time as I was beginning my new position at work, with FGS, and the conference, along with being a new homeowner, yet I wanted to maintain my friendships and make time for myself.

My goals for 2013 were :

1. Dedicate 10 minutes a day to a workout or stretching routine
2. Dedicate an hour a day to myself
3. Establish a routine to handle my condition
4. Spend more time with Erin's children 

Sorry to say, I did not accomplish any of them. Workouts are infrequent, time to myself seems impossible, and I spent one day with Erin's children. And at my recent six month evaluation, the doc told me that we needed to formulate a new plan for handling my condition since establishing, much less maintaining, a routine is a near impossibility for me.

Though I did not accomplish any of these 2013 goals, there are many aspects of my life that have made me proud.
1. Managed not to totally screw up any of my new responsibilities.
2. Have been given further responsibilities since I've proven myself more than capable.
3. Maintained those friendships that mean the most and learned to shrug off those who were negative influences in my life.
4. Gained a better understanding of my relationships and where they fit in my life.
5. Lost myself then found myself again.
6. Began a journey of acceptance of myself: pre-2000, past, present, and future.
7. Learning to balance everything.

I've decided not to set goals for 2014 because this year is looking as busy as last year and I'm sure I'll stumble along the way but I'm also sure that with the help of my loved ones and friends, I'll make it through.
