While perusing Instagram the other day I read this quote and was moved to make it my own. For some reason we (I?) tend to think of January 1st as some magical day where change needs to happen and new resolutions can begin. But let me tell you, January 1st has never been that for me. I am not a resolution kind of gal. I really and truly wish I was, but for me January 1st rolled around and I, well let’s just be honest, rolled out of bed.
After running around like a mad chicken from the beginning of August until December 31st, there wasn’t one ounce of me that wanted to sit down and think through goals and resolutions. I just wanted, and very much needed, time to rest and regroup. And as hard as that is for me to go from 80 to ZERO, I needed it. It is not at all in my nature to rest and relax, but it has been a really wonderful season for me. And as I haven’t rested the entire month, it has been more like a Sunday afternoon drive rather than a Nascar race.
So as February begins, so do my goals and resolutions, and as I have been reading other blogs that are not photographer related, I have found that one of the things that may keep me motivated and staying on track this year with my goals are to publicly display them for accountably purposes. Now I am not even sure how many people read this blog, but I am assuming one person will and if you see me, please ask me where I am at, and hopefully I will be much further along then than I am now!! So here’s to an amazing 2016 and for keeping and setting goals!!
