2014 Resolutions

I'm getting a late start on my resolutions this year. 2013 turned out to be a hard year. It started out great, with me getting my own place and I had a really great group of friends. I got a new job that was very exciting. But I also had a roommate that truely tested me. As the year went on things slowly started to die, roommate moved out, and friends fell away. I really isolated myself. Looking back I think it was just a hard year of learning for me. I learned the stresses of money and real "adult" problems. I took on new responsibilities, I wouldn't trade Ms. Bella for anything. But I spent the entire year searching for my happiness. 

I am determined to make 2014 better and all about making me better. 23 is too old to not have your life together. I've never been one for horoscopes or fortunes. But this year they have really spoken to me... 

They have really given me motivation and hope to make this the best year yet. Plus it is the year of the Horse which is my Zodiac sign so I think it is going to be my year.

My 2014 Resolutions:

1. Eat Healthier, less junk food and portion control! Keep a food journal

2. Make working out a priority

3. Keep a consistent bedtime so I can get up earlier/easier

4. Always be nose deep in a book

5. Figure out how to deal with my stress (read my stress management book)

6. Try to keep my house cleaner, instead of massive cleanings

7. Take more walks with Bella

8. Spend less money, save more money

9. Journal and Blog about all special moments

10. Take more pictures

11. Practice my talents AKA Piano

12. Spend plenty of time enjoying my hobbies

13. Try to be more open and expressive

I'm going to practice all of these things until my birthday, then after that I am really going to get down to business!
