My word for the year: Connection
So as I write this from my Notes section from my IPhone, I can see how I am doing on these New years Intentions.
This is what I wrote:
Want to really see my kids this year. Note their strengths, pray for them with intention, and enjoy them. Put words to what I see in them. Draw things out of them.
Start with my circle of 5. This is what I have to give, first offered to my circle and then go out.
I read "Present over Perfect" over Christmas and it was influential for me in these thoughts.
Soul food- reflection and time for myself. Must have this time for me and God daily!
Physical- I want to get limber again. Having a baby at 44 can take it's toll. I want to move my body again in ways I used to and shed some weight. I want to play more and be comfortable playing in the water.
Food: Good whole foods. Not so many sweets and good nourishing meals.
Andrew: earlier to sleep and earlier to rise. To have kiddos down earlier for bed as it is all a domino effect.
House: Simplify. Want stuff to be simple and light so it can be easily managed and freed up for connection.
So as I take stock. I see I have some work to do. Some good choices I have made in regards to food and some physical choices. Still areas of work. Connection, want to make it happen. Grateful for summer to be coming as I can take off the teacher hat a bit and slow the pace a bit and enjoy the kiddos in more play. It's a daily choice for sure!
