Looking Back, Looking Forward
At the beginning of 2010 our goal was to organize and purge our house of extra stuff! It was a year long process and honestly we have a little ways to go…our basement! Okay, so maybe not that little, but it does feel good to have gotten so much cleaned and organized.
Of course the areas I did at the beginning of the year can be gone through again, I believe this will be a life long process of de-cluttering!
On the True Woman blog they are talking about the “Crush of Stuff” and yes stuff can really crush us! It can take over and our minds get cluttered along with our homes and our lives. It’s all about intentional living! Not easy!
Watching my parents downsize this year was very encouraging and motivating. They moved out of a huge house, to a small one level house, perfect to grow old in!
I know most people will say this, but in 2011 I’d like to hit my goal weight (by my birthday), so I have about 45 pounds left to go. I’m down 42 from October of 2009, so I think I can get there easily!
That’s my biggest goal for the year.
I will say that I am amazed at how different I feel being down 42 pounds. Yesterday I was a cleaning machine and I thought, “Where do I have all this energy?” Then I realized I am carrying around a whole lot less weight. Before I was carrying “Miles” around all day. If I had to do that now, I’d be zapped! So that was neat to realize.
Always good to have a new year, fresh start, and back to a good routine!
What’s your 2011 goals?
