New year...new me

Over the past few weeks, I've come back home from Texas to my humble California abode. I had a some serious time off and I spent it with my family. I felt and still feel so recharged. I had no real desire to do anything and I slept and ate what I wanted. Only caveat: it's been a little harder to get back to the healthier side of things. All things said, though, it was great to go and come back.

I've decided somewhere, somehow that I take life a little too seriously. I realized my time off was just so amazing. I literally shut off my work phone and, in doing so, released so much. I forgot what it was like to just be relaxed. I have this little notebook and I write my work to do's in it as the week goes by. I tackle a little each night for about an hour or so on the computer when I come in from an account. It seems to be helping manage the workload. I've also taken to tuning out negativity in all it's forms. I can't handle the cranky complaining of people at work anymore. I just want to do my job and go home to do what I want to do. Sometimes it's yoga/running or reading. Other times it's snuggling in bed with Baxter watching cheesy tv. Some how I found the time to join a charity and start attending a regular church as well. It's incredibly liberating and yes, I dare say fun.

I know things aren't always going to be easy. I'm always going to hit a few speedbumps....who the heck doesn't? I just feel like this time around I'm going to approach it differently. I feel better than I have in a really long time. We'll just have to see how things continue to unfold.
