Happy New Year!

I cannot believe another year has come and gone. 

This year I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot at work. I learned how to travel. I pushed my body. I also learned how important it is to take care of myself; mentally, emotionally, and physically.

As for New Year's resolutions, last year I wanted to sleep more. I cannot say I completely failed or suceeded at that goal. It did help to have it on my mind. 

I look to 2012 for opportunity to work hard both personally and professionally. 

I had a crazy idea that I would try to run 365 miles, bike 365, and swim 365 miles. If I am able to complete this goal and show my progress to others. I was hoping that they would in turn make a donation to me or to a charity of their choosing in a quantity relating to 365.

I have realized work is not everything and I still want the challenge but I also want to make an impact. Hopefully, if someone reads this they might be interested in my proposition. I think I would like to check in monthly with my progress. 

This will also motivate me to train for triathlons. I plan to count my race miles as part of this exercise.

One other note I would like to try to mediate daily. I think having that quiet time can be beneficial for everyone.

Here is to hoping 2012 is a great year for everyone!

New Year's Resolutions.. Zzzz

First of all I hate them; if you want to make a change start any day not just on New Year's!

I would like to meet someone who has actually kept a resolution a whole year.

Perhaps I am just not ambitious enough. One thing regardless of the year is I would like to sleep more. Why? I recently got back in touch with one of my grandparents friends - he is 102 years old. He says he doesn't have any secrets but he says he has always slept a lot. If I get to see my 102 birthday because of this 'New Year's resolution' why not? 

It does makes sense. Less sleep = making my body work over time.

I have heard this fun fact- 

For every all-nighter you pull you loose a week of your life. 

So here's to 2011 I hope I sleep more than I did in 2010.

One more thing, I would like to take the time to update this blog more often.

I give bloggers props it isn't easy coming up with original non-mundane content.

Thanksgiving 2010

With all the hustle and bustle with my schedule I decided to stay in my new apartment for Thanksgiving. Meaning I would not be with any family or relatives for thanksgiving. I missed my family but it gave me a new appreciation for the day. 

I thought about all of those other people who might be lucky enough to share thanksgiving with anyone.  

 I am very thankful for all those who serve across the globe. 

I am even more thankful I have a family!

I did start a couple traditions here. First, spending time at the beach. Second, not over stuffing myself on food. Third staying away from the television. Finally, I didn't make a turkey but I did make dessert! 

My first homemade pumpkin pie and red wine.

Coming Back

It has been almost two years since I posted here! Tons of things have happened. I guess it is that thing called life. Sadly they have gone undocumented. I am going to make a sincere effort to put a few drops down on this blog. I find it easiest to see where I have come from in an attempt to understand where I am going.

Perhaps to all you strangers it will serve as a means to finding something else about yourself. To my friends enjoy and may we travel down more roads together.

Peace be with everyone.
