Ocean Waves

Aaaaah, I love the ocean!! I'm currently on I guess you would call a church retreat in Myrtle Beach, SC. Waking up and looking off my balcony to a beautiful view of the ocean is so refreshing and relaxing!! If I could do it every day I totally would! I only live about an hour away from the beach, but I never find the time to go or have anyone available to go with. Aside from having a week and a half away from reality of home and work I'm getting to spend quality stress free time with my children which I'm enjoying!! Also being here going to church everyday and being around like minded people of faith is amazing to me! It truly is an amazing experience! I learn so much about myself and love being around my church family to bring me back to the real reality! I love my faith and what I believe in!! I hate to have to leave in a few days, but until then I fully intend to enjoy every minute of it and the fellowship! This is the time of year I look forward to every year! We all get so burdened by life and everything going on around us from day to day we take a lot for granted instead of rejoicing and looking at all the blessings in our lives. So I definitely take this time to reflect on the passed year and set goals for the coming year. It's kind of like my new years haha! So I'm going to share with you my goals for the next year. By next year I mean starting now until next October! First I want to apply what I've learned on my trip to my life in general! By that I mean strengthen my relationship with God, and really applying certain things to my life and behavior. Also I want to continue to strengthen my marriage it's on a good path and I want it to stay that way. Be a better mother! I'm a good mom I love my kids more than anything and they are my life. But I know I make mistakes and I want to learn from them and learn some patience to be a better mother and role model for my kids! Finally I want to find something that I can do from home making a little extra income while being a stay at home mom (which I'm currently not). I really feel my kids need me in that capacity as I need them. It's not that I dislike working out of my home because I do. Even though my job drives me crazy at times it has been my second home since I was 16 and I've always worked hard at it. Now I feel it's time to move on and do what I love to do the most and that's be the mother I was meant to be :). At the same time I love making money and having that independence so I really want to find that extra income! Last but not least stop procrastinating and just get it done!! I'm the type of person that dips my toes in the water before getting in and sometimes that toe barely grazes the water! I would love to just move past fears I may have or anticipation of possible failure and just jump into life sometimes! Any who those are my basic goals for the next year! We'll see how it goes ;)!!
