... Oh hello frosty morning, it's December 31st you say... huh? I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! I keep asking myself, where did all the days and weeks and months run off to? Do you ever feel like that?
As I look back over 2016, I wanted it to be a year of change, of new beginnings. And it was, a little. I wanted to invite in change, so I shaved my head - Ok, so that was a pretty big change, but I also wanted to do other things. I wanted to start going back to church, which I did. I have found myself an amazing church and have made some wonderful new friends. I wanted to spend more time catching up with family and friends, and because of the internet that has made life so much easier (my family all live overseas). I wanted to spend more time pursuing my creative side and that has been a blast. I have been teaching myself to paint, which has been so cathartic and relaxing. I wanted to explore my faith more and go deeper, which I started to do, but haven't done it nearly as much as I would have liked!!
So now as I look forward to 2017, what are some of the things I'm looking forward to?
- I want to definitely delve deeper into my faith, and study more. I'm still toying with the idea of Bible college, but that is not a definite for this coming year.
- Get back to cooking. I love to cook and try new recipes and foods
- I am looking forward to my parents coming to visit this summer!!
- I want to go camping/travel more in 2017
- I am going to continue to paint and develop those skills
- I want to make more videos - If I had a mountain of footage I would spend all day editing, that is my favorite part of the process so far.
- I am going to continue to write. I have enjoyed it when I have done it, I just need to make the commitment to it more often
- I want to sing a little louder, and care a little less about what others think - What's the saying? Dance like nobody's watching!
I could probably keep going on forever, but I wont. I will just close out this last entry of 2016 by saying, thank you. Thank you to anyone who has taken some time out of their day to read these posts. I hope you all have an amazing day/night, however you decide to ring in the new year and I pray that your 2017 is an incredible year to remember!
