I am not quite sure who wrote the quote above. I have seen it a lot lately, none the less, it is a GREAT quote. If you treat each day as a page in a book and you want to make your book worth reading when it is over, you have to make it a great day every day.
In my previous post I stated I wasn't making any resolutions. I think that resolutions are made to be broken honestly. As my husband said last night as we were talking about it he said that they are never kept past February. Good point! I am making a REALsolution. I know, I'm falling into this trendy word that has started but it makes complete sense.
My page today is going to be great. I'm going to make every day from here on out great! This last year was pretty good but next year I want to say that 2015 was GREAT!
How exactly am I going to accomplish this? Well I have plenty of things that I always say I'm going to do but never do. I want to read more...it will be done! I want to do more crocheting....it will be done! I'm going to spend more time with my kiddos doing crafts, teaching my oldest how to cook, getting both of my kiddos to be more active (not that basketball and swimming don't keep my oldest busy enough) and overall see them more happy....it will be done! I want my businesses to take off and be successful....it will be done!
I am the worst about scheduling myself, I have always been a procrastinator and a last minute planner. I am working on changing this for the better. I'm making a schedule for myself and putting things in a place to be done at a specific time. If I write it down it will get accomplished! I have always been good when it comes to my job (always early and most of the time last one to leave) so I need to put that work ethic to use in my home life. I know I can do it!
One of the best ways to make sure I can schedule myself well and accomplish things is to be more organized. I am the one that will do laundry but not put it away even when it has been folded for days. I am the one that will take a pile of papers and just move it from spot to spot when it is in the way. Not going to happen! Things are going to be put away!
To accomplish wanting to read more I have a list of books that are on my wish list to read. My first book is going to be one that I started a long time ago but never finished...A Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. I loved the book just never finished it. My next book I plan on being Gone Girl. I have a list of more but in no particular order from there.
My crocheting will be done at night, I want to get part way through a current project each night until done then start a new one. I'm currently working on a braided infinity scarf. It is a beautiful gray and green color combination. I'm very excited about it. I have so many patterns saved up of what I want to do. It is almost becoming an obsession. Below is a picture of a scarf I finished as a gift recently. It was a difficult pattern but I did it and I'm very proud of it.
I am totally infatuated with my kiddos. Above I stated I wanted to make more time with them. Don't get me wrong I spend a lot of time with them but I have always idolized those parents that seem to be the perfect housewives and can pull off the arts and crafts with their kids, take them on play dates or something like that. I do not feel like I'm failing by any means but I want to do better at this. My girls are my world and I couldn't ask for anything better.
Since this is the end of they day by the time I am getting to publish this...I have written a pretty good first page of my 365 page book. Christmas decorations and tree is down, laundry is almost completely done and put away, played some games with my oldest, did some work on my businesses and had a little time to myself.
I hope your book is going to be just as good! Happy New Year everyone!
