A New Year...

As we go through the last few days of 2014 my mind drifts through everything that has happened this past year...a lot has happened...a lot of it good and a lot that I can learn from.

But as I sit and look back I remember that nothing can change from living in the past and that I wanted to go into 2015 with a list of things I wanted to do...

1. Laugh - I want to laugh at myself...I want to laugh when life is funny...I don't want to care who is watching or who is around I just want to laugh at the joy of life.

2. Dance - I want to dance when I'm happy, when I'm sad, in the car, in the shower, waiting for my coffee...when I outsmart someone at work...when I do something dumb...when one of my athletes do something awesome...when I do something awesome...just for the joy of it.

3. Sing - (first I apologize if you hear me sing) I want to sing at the top of my lungs...with my friends...for fun...in the shower...in traffic (that's always fun...people stare)...whenever I feel like singing because it's fun and freeing.

4. Love - I want to love...life, my friends, family, my dog...everything...because of all things I believe that love can conquer all.

5. I want to do life on my schedule - I want to nap if I want to nap...read a book...watch a movie in my pjs at 3 in the afternoon...I want to get back to doing things for the joy of me.

6. I want my mom to lay off how I look...I know I'm beautiful.  I realize that I may not be thin by anyone's standard but I am happy...I go to the gym...I work out...but this year I want to block out the comments and remember what I know to be true...I think I am beautiful inside and out and honestly my opinion is the only one I think really counts at the end of the day.

7. I want to keep my purple hair because it's become a part of me...it's the warning sign that I might be more feisty than I look.  

8.  I want to smile 

9.  I want to take pictures of things that inspire me

10.  I want to cook more

11.  I want to read more

12.  I want to write more

13.  I want to create more

14.  I want to follow my dreams even if they don't pan out I don't care I just want to say that I followed them because at the end of the day we will never know if we can achieve them if we don't try.

15.  I want to fall in love and even if I get my heart broken...I'll be stronger for it.

16. I want to be brave.

17. More honest

18.  More aware of the world around me

19.  I want to let loose 

20.  I want to take more chances

21.  I want to actually try some of the things I pin on pinterest

22. Connect with people more

23.  Take more time for God

24.  Take time to be still

25.  Take time to connect with out of state family

26.  Find more beauty in life than negativity

27.  Be okay with things don't go as planned...keep going regardless...remember that it will all work out in the end.

My dearest friend says that my 27th year would be my year...well maybe he's right...but I guess this list can't hurt things any.

I want to wish everyone reading this a Happy Holidays!  Have a wonderful New Years!

With Love Always,
Alex
