I feel like we just completed one big curve in the course, with only two wheels touching the ground and me tightly gripping the wheel, my face set in a wince over the execution of that turn.
STOP THE RIDE, I WANT TO GET OFF!!!
We brought in the New Year with a flurry of activity. Once the snow stopped falling, we ventured out and enjoyed our stay-cation. We played games, toured a museum, went ice skating, and ate out. We enjoyed some overnight company with whom we sledded, ice skated, swam, and ate out some more.

While I thoroughly enjoyed watching my oldest two become comfortable on the ice, and my youngest two more confident in the water, I have never been so happy for the start of a week before like I was for this one. Routine. Structure. School. Work. Thank goodness!
I love routine, especially after a long, busy weekend. I'm ready to hop off the race-way and walk in the park. It means I feel more in control, and I get to play again. And speaking of making time to play, I loved Anita's New Year's resolution.

One year is a long time. I doubt many people can claim to still be upholding their resolutions come March. I like Jessica's decision to break down her goals into steps.
But I have no tangible goals that can be measured into steps, no plans to eat better, exercise more, spend less, or lose weight. I already make a conscious effort to serve more vegetables, and get out and get active as a family. I feel this is enough for now.

I want to be a better mom, wife, friend, daughter, and sister.
I want to be more selfless and give more.
This year, I resolve to give myself.
I love, love, love your resolution. Being present in any situation is the best gift you could give anybody. Love you! Heather
