Today, I was going through photographs so that I can put together my yearly Christmas card. I started doing a “Favorite Things” type of Christmas card last year, kind of my own Oprah moment (without the free audience give aways, of course!). I realized, as I was going through my photos, I did not have as many "adventures" this year as I had hoped I would. I did A LOT of working this year and although I love my job and am blessed to be working for a company I like, with people that I truly enjoy and have a deep respect for, I have realized that my work/life balance was off this year. Of course, when you begin a new job, I think that is to be expected.
But, as I was going through the photos of the year, I began to think of the adventures that I want to have in 2012, the places I want to go, and most importantly the memories that I want to create and chronicle. We only get one chance to go through this life and I want to create and capture moments that are important to me and that I can share with others. I want the adventures that I have, to show who I am and what I am all about.
What will be on your “Adventure List” for 2012? Have you started thinking about it? A couple of things come to mind for me, off the top of my head:
Go to church more
Participate in a Bible study
Complete the Midnight Madness 5K - on December 31
Be able to run six miles, without stopping
Complete two runs, in states other than AZ
Get together with my besties, I miss my girls
Have a great trip with my family
This is just the beginning of my list. I will continue to add to it and republish. I’d love to hear what “adventures” you are planning for 2012.
Until then....The Girl in Red Bug
