Life as I See It Now...

It has been awhile since I have posted. Well let's just say things have changed. Life has had it's ups and downs. A new year has come and an old year is now considered the past. To me that's a little scary, but also very exciting. As a beginning of this new year, I have come up with the 14 yearly intentions...I don't like the word resolution, so I call them intentions. By this, I intent to do them and strive to do them the best I can.

14 intentions of 2014:

1. Finish school and make the best out of it.
          It's the last time that I will see some people who have been in my life the past four years, and I want to cherish every moment that I can.

2. Travel
       I started off 2014 in my favorite city, but I want to explore more of this vast country and world...even if it just a weekend trip to a close by city or day trip something that I can do and enjoy.

3. Volunteer
        I have slacked on this in the past, but I want to start volunteering and giving back to the community.

4.  Spend wisely
        Budget, Budget, Budget...enough said.

5.  Get in shape.
        Not necessarily lose weight but maintain the weight and gain muscle.

6.  Read More.
          I have always enjoyed reading, but I want to expand my library and read books that I have wanted to since I can remember.

7.  Enjoy the outdoors.
         I love being outside. However, I have noticed that I haven't been able to spend time outside as much as I would like to. So, I'm gonna explore some and just lay out some this year.

8.  Less time on phone
        Let's face, my phone is important to me...like it is to many others. However, I want to cut back on the time I spend on it.

9. Quality Time
         Plain and simple... more quality time with those who are important in my life.

10. New Shows
          Once again pretty simple, expand the television shows that I watch. Don't stick with the same old same old type of programs. More dramas, more action, more History.

11. New movies
         Pretty much the same reasoning as the new shows.

12. Take more pictures
           I love love love pictures. I think that they capture a moment in time that one is able to revisit again and again.

13. Take more walks.
          Sometimes you just need to walk to enjoy the beauty of nature or to clear your mind...plus it is good exercise.

And Finally,

14. Live life!
          Be more adventurous, go on an unplanned adventure, say yes to new things...within reason, just have fun!

Enjoy all that the New Year has to offer.

Til Next Time Remember,

"Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect."-Romans 12:2
