It's that time again, the last day of the year. It comes around every year and every year it seems to fill me with equal amounts of excitement and anxiety. I get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays and then WHAM! Christmas is over and the New Year is approaching. I have spent the last week attending a few pity parties as I looked back on the goals & "resolutions" I half assed set for 2010. Not a party anyone wants to go to willingly! I have also been searching for my one little word. I have a list, a long list and now I'm in the process of narrowing it down to the one that fits best into where my head and my heart are at. Finding that one little word that I will use to drive me, inspire me and lead me through 2011. It has been hard and to be honest a little emotional for me, I wish I could blame it on post pregnancy hormones but I think it goes a little deeper than that. Don't get me wrong 2010 was wonderful in so many ways, most importantly the birth of our beautiful daughter Anna (whom is seriously amazing), but there are areas of my life that I feel I let myself down. Does anyone else feel like that? It can't be just me... right? I have big plans for this coming year that need to be turned into concrete goals, written down instead of floating around in my overcrowded head, worked on so that I can go into 2012 not feeling like I have this past week, so that the last week of December isn't packed with anxiety. Instead, full of anticipation and excitement about what the future holds.
As I close out 2010 I want to thank all of you, whom ever you are and where ever you may be for reading my posts and hanging out with me! I wish you all a wonderful New Year! A year full of love and happiness! xoxo
I'm off to start list writing.... with a glass of red wine {wink}.
Much Love,
Nadine

Happy New Year! I always hate the part where you look back at the goals you set for yourself and see how far you fell! There have been times when I completely forget my "word"! ACK!
But I take this for the learning experience it is, and re-evaluate those goals. If they get "tweaked" and added to next year's list, then I know I really need to put the most effort in to them.
And if I have moved on and decided I want to pursue other goals, then so be it!
My "phrase" this year sounds like a Walmart chant or inspirational poster or something, but I hope it will get me moving towards my better self this year!
love ya long time...
p.s. I love reading your blog! You need to post more pics of Anna though...I bet she is getting cuter by the second!
