Wow, it is really 2009. This year is full of so many changes. FIRST my oldest daughter will be graduating from high school and going to college. I can HARDLY believe it. I remember when she was so tiny. It has been so exciting to watch her mature into an amazing young lady. I am starting to have the bittersweet feelings mother's have when their children graduate and go to college.
I am also in the midst of my principal's certification at Drexel. You know I finished my master's degree almost 17 years ago. Being a half time student and teaching full time and being a mom...has been well challenging. So another change for this year is to S...L...O...W.... up. I have decided that instead of taking 2 classes in the winter quarter, 2 classes in the Spring Quarter and 2 more classes in the summer I would just take the 2 in the winter. Take a break and MAYBE take one in the summer. This way I can enjoy my girls a bit more. I also can enjoy life a bit more.
This year also will include a concerted effort NOT to make resolutions, but rather to make some lifestyle changes. You know they seem to look a lot like a resolution...
1. Be more healthy (i.e. exercise and make healthy food choices)
2. Be more organized with my finances (weekly check ups)
3. Be more regular with "sacred space time"
Ok...there are more...but these are my BIG 3. Through these 3 things I want to improve my relationships with my girls and my friends and my family.
Wow...this is getting to be a long post...I think I will close for now...
Well close with some things I am thankful for....
1. My amazing daughters
2. My journey with Jesus
3. My health
4. The fact that I "de-cluttered" my room!
