I saw this fun thing that my friend Deidre did with her girls... I thought, Hey, I'm like a kid - but its still good to review the year end & the questions apply to everyone... so if you want to answer along, feel free to grab the questions - afterall, that's what I did myself. Thanks Deidre :)
2012
Favorite Color: I have been in a grey phase
Favorite Food: I have been in love with edamame this year... mmmm...
Favorite Activity: Taking pictures... of course :)
Favorite Book: Mondays with my Old Pastor
Highlights of 2012
Greatest Lesson Learned: That was I strong enough to give up meat & Diet soft drinks :)
...& that I learned that I can keep my mouth quiet in situations. Believe me - that was something I never thought I could do. I tend to be a 'mouth blurter' but have found a new control with that. Who knew?
Hardest Thing of the Year: My battle with neuropathy. I still have days where it flares up, but nothing like it was at the beginning of the year last year. I honestly have never felt so WRONG in all my life.
Favorite Memory: Crossing that finish line in my PR at the Ky Derby Half Marathon - with my hubby by my side. I think this memory will be in my top 5 of my life :)
What I loved most about 2012: I've got lots so I'm cheating & choosing a few
* My marriage, after being with my husband for 20 years, is stronger & closer then ever
* The photography thing has been amazing. I have a fantastic partner, we've got our feet in the wedding pond now, & its great meeting such fun, unique people with every session
* My family is all closer... Julie & the grandbabies are closer in Nashville & my parents are 5 miles from me
* All my doggies are getting older, but have survived the year... we dont take it for granted
Looking Forward to 2013:
Want to learn: How to cook more vegan dishes
Want to get better at: Running
Biggest Goal: To be more natural in my eating... more vegan... definitely staying vegetarian - but just want to treat my body with natural health. Exercise, good foods - I want to FEEL good - that's the goal :)
I am so proud of you for giving up Diet Coke! I'm a firm believer that it takes a strong person to break free from things that control us. That's why I like to do juice fasts and derive great pleasure from giving up things (such as Mt Dew) that periodically take hold of me. Happy New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Although, I cannot give up my diet pepsi, I have cut down and am drinking more water! :)
