Wishing you and your families a very happy holiday season!
As I complete my third year of blogging, I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who read my blog. I love the comments and feedback. Even if you don’t comment, I appreciate your support and participation. This blog gives me catharsis and a creative outlet. It also makes me feel connected to a larger world, when sometimes I can feel isolated as a stay-home mom.
I’m still in Calgary visiting with my in-laws. It’s been a good, quiet trip filled with family. Calgary is cold, but pristinely beautiful and always sunny. We’re staying mostly indoors and enjoying the view of the mountains from the condo windows.
The new year is approaching and I can’t help but assess my year past, and make resolutions for the future God-willing. On my list are to not to sweat the small stuff, to focus on family, health, fitness and relationships – the things that matter.
On a more detailed level – I’d like to run 10k without stopping. I’d like to learn to make rotis properly (Indian flatbreads made from whole wheat flour). I want to go on long bike ride with my kids, and generally be more active outdoors with them. I want to enhance myself spiritually and strengthen my inner relationship with my faith. I want to try and be a better, calmer person and shed the petty worries that sometimes drag me down.
Best wishes for 2010 and here’s to making all our resolutions come true!
I’m glad you are enjoying your trip west, especially considering that it had a rough start.
It sure is remarkable how much we, as Moms, have in common with each other… I read your blog and leave comments so I can feel more connected to the real world. It is affirming to read about someone else struggling with many of the same things I am, perhaps that means that I’m not doing it all wrong afterall!
I also have very similar wishes for myself in the new year, and I wish you the best in achieving your goals. A new year and a new decade can only bring new adventures, I have to say I am feeling unusually optimistic about the upcoming year.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation in Calgary and all the best with your New Year resolutions.
