The time is now.

Oh hey there 2011. Whats up?

Back to work, routine and reality.

But as made so many years before hand in the year of change. For once I actually kind-of believe it.

The holiday break was great- I had so much fun with friends and family. It was nice to be out of the city and get to relax. Now however its time to get down to business. I seem to make goals almost every-year, but the change this year is not to create some huge crazy goal- like " I will never eat bad food".... let's be serious that is just setting yourself up for failure.

So I am vowing NOT to do that this year. This year the goals are small, attainable but still very important to me. I feel as though writing them down will make them more real- so here we go. :D

1. Make a conscious effort to visit my g-parents more. I don't want to wake up one day and regret the lack of time I spent with them. They do/have done a lot for me- its time to return the favor.

2. Last year I was told I was at a major risk of pre-diabetic and needed to get my health in order to prevent the chance of becoming a diabetic. I took this news by crying for 3 days and trying to tell almost no one. I bought some new books and decided to make the change, and then well didn't. So this year- I hope to educate myself and try in small steps to combat this over-arching possible "doom".

3.Travel more- I was lucky to get to go on a few small trips this past year, Scotland in Nov '09 but I'm going to count that as '10 :), Southern Florida (including, Miami and Key West) a weekend in Ottawa and adventures at home that included canoeing and some hiking. As I have already said on here I am headed to Vegas in 2 weeks but I want to do and see more, go back to Scotland- see England, go to New York, visit Montreal and all of Western Canada. These are only a few pieces of my list of places to see but Some of wish I hope I knock off in 2011.

4. This last goal may seem the easiest for some but for me is the hardest. Being truly good to myself. My worst critic in this world is myself. I seem to sabotage myself in all areas of my life while encouraging others to their max. So this year its time to just care about me.

I know this blog will be a great tool in 2011 and I cannot wait to search more of my journey on life with all of you.

Until the next time.
