2013

I'm declaring 2013 'The Year of Me'. For too long I've neglected so many parts of my life and it's time to reclaim them. I think that since becoming a mum I have put everyone else's needs before mine (a familiar tale I'm sure) and whilst I've enjoyed nearly every minute of it, the time has come to put myself first for a bit.

This year I hope to study for the first time in over 13 years. I have loved being a teacher but it's time for something new. I'm hoping that I'll be accepted to study Midwifery. If I'm successful I'll study part-time, balancing home life with study and hopefully, a little bit of relief teaching. It will be challenging, I'm sure, but I can't wait! *

Another big decision I've made is to focus on my health and well-being. I've joined Weight Watchers and am determined to make it work. It's been almost two weeks and I'm down nearly 3 kilos. Fist pump! Go me!

This blog is also on my 2013 to do list. I'm hoping to get the time, some 'me' time, to really get this little space going. That means making myself stop, slow down and reflect, taking the time to record the goings on of our family and whatever else seems worth remembering.

Yup, 2013 'The Year of Me'. How about you? Is 2013 your year too?
