All Over the Place

I’m (still) feeling fired up to stick to my goals for 2014 – pretty surprising given that it’s nearing the end of January. I’ve been reading a couple of parenting books, reading a book on rehabbing my plantar fascia and my ITB, keeping a daily gratitude journal, and working on losing the 4lbs I gained over the holidays. I’m also in the process of planning my daughter’s 8th birthday and working on cleaning up around the house (including putting away Christmas decorations), since we’ve been away every weekend but one since before Christmas.

I’m feeling a little bit all over the place, but I’m pretty sure that I like it that way or else I would start narrowing my focus. Here’s a sampling of what I’ve had on my mind lately:
