A new seed for a new year

Today is the first day I am doing this. Oh and by the way I mean putting myself out into the world.
I have a had a few years now where I have asked questions of myself. What do you want to be? Where are you going? Why do I make the same decision when it is not what I want? I am not sure I have answered any of them yet but the one thing I have decided is this is my year. This is my year to shine. To live my life now. Too long have a concentrated on the end goal.
 No longer will this be my motto.
 I am going to live the width of a life and not worry about how long it takes me to get to the goal. I am just going to do it. So here I am feeling a little naked in front of you. (Which does not make much sense considering I am typing on a laptop to no certain person.) I just hope there a few others out here that live a life that is a little less than fulfilling and have decided to fill their cup and let it overrun with joy and experiences.

Day one

Today is traditionally the day where we set a big goal that will take months and months to achieve and unfortunately most of us give up by next week. My solutions is to set myself a a daily goal. That is right I am going to wake up set a goal I know I can achieve and accomplish it that day. There are a couple reason two of which are when I have a huge lofty goal and miss I am crazily hard on myself and have a tendency to throw in the towel because I have not achieved perfection.

Number two is because I want to achieve goals but with a two year old and a husband who has some health problems there are days when a shower before ten is a major accomplishment. I want to have a small goal that before I put my baby to sleep at eleven. (Yes she does not go to bed before then and I have moved heaven and earth to try earlier all to end in both of us in tears of frustration.) I can give myself a gold star and a pat on the back.

Today's Goal:
Get all Christmas down and put away. This may seem small but it is lofty for me. My little one has been sick for weeks and she has become friends with all of the decorations. I am literally prying them out of her hands to put them in a box to store.
