New Year's Resolutions 2017

Okay, so I never said that I could keep up to date with blogging anymore but I really didn't think it had been as long as it had. As usual, it's my spiel of 'I'm back' again after an absence but I decided that given it is a brand new year, I thought I might come back to my home.

I did an assembly today with the Year 1s and 2s of my school and I thought that it's never too young to get children thinking about their goals and what they want to achieve. Naturally, my assembly was all about New Year's Resolutions.
If you're a regular to my blog... unlike the blogger is... you might know that the past couple of years I have shunned resolutions because I feel that it is too hard to keep to them throughout the whole year- I instead like to make monthly resolutions... not that I always stick to them either. But today, I decided that I would talk about what I want to achieve.
My new year's resolution since I was a child was always to stop biting my nails- I shared this with the children and they had a little giggle. I honestly believe that the children think adults and teachers are some divine being that are never wrong and are always perfect. Who knows where they get that idea from but it certainly is not me... The teacher that hardly has her act together but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, during that assembly, my colleague shared what her resolution was, which was to run more to get fit and healthy and although my family are on a health kick at the moment, I didn't consider it a goal. I would like to say that my goal is to blog more but we always know how that goes.
I started my 2017 with my family that happen to just be some of my closest friends too so I guess my resolution for this year would be to not lose sight of those that are important to me. The nature of my job ends up being all consuming- when you add children into the mix for any part of your life, it does become all consuming but I am determined to find a work-life balance. That included seeing family and friends but also making time in my life to find someone special that I am spend my life with.

There can't be THAT much wrong with me... except my love of Snapchat filters... #oops #sorrynotsorry

That being said, I have always been a true believer of respecting and loving yourself, which I think I may finally be doing. I do want to find someone that I get on well with and a relationship comes naturally. I have only ever felt that true connection with a couple of people in my life and unfortunately timings or circumstances have always got in the way. Perhaps my new year's resolution is to make time to form those connections- however they come around...

It also wouldn't hurt for me to blog more often either but we'll see how well that goes...
For now, love always,
