Happy New Year! For me it has been an amazing end to 2010 and beginning to 2011. The birth of our son Elias on the 28th of December 2010 was the absolute highlight.
What followed for me was a total emotional adjustment, it was as though the chemical make-up of my brain was running on 20% capacity. My ability to think clearly, rationalize, practice tolerance and a multitude of other important adult behaviors flew out the window during this pregnancy and to have 'myself back' has given me a new appreciation of myself.
Secondly Chris has moved into a new career, one which he has been working towards and planning for the last few years. He left for his first contract on the 2nd of January Piloting a boat from Bali to Dampea towing a 'jacket' which is some sort of construction equipment. I am so very proud of him for his focus and hard work. There were plenty of times in 2010 when the pinch of stressed finances took their toll, so to see this goal come to fruition is such a blessing.
2011.... what will it bring?
- Lots of cherished family time, enjoying watching our three beautiful children grow and enjoy life
- A chance to move overseas for a time
- Finish renovations on our home, finally!
- For me to be able to pack away my maternity wardrobe once and for all and relish the fact that my body is mine again.
2011.... what do I want to work on?
- Strengthening my marriage with more date nights and time for just Chris and I
- Developing my hobbies and enjoying increased independence again
- Physical well-being, healthy eating habits and regular exercise
congratulations to Chris on achieving his goal I think thats awesome and also I love your 2011 goals aswell. You have made me think about what mine might be. I am going to type them up in a poster and put them on the fridge to remind myself and keep focussed xx
