As 2016 comes to an end I’ve been reflecting on what I want to take with me from this year and where I want to head. 

I hear many people say that this year sucked but I disagree. I think that in life we will always have years that had a mixture of good and bad moments. It’s just up to us where we put our focus. 

Here are some of the things I thought of and that I will be striving for daily, in each new chapter of my life. 

• Read more
• Join a dance class 
• Find a bible study group 
• React less with yelling and respond more with listening 
• Train for and complete Pasadena Rose Bowl Triathlon 
• Blog consistently 
• Fuel myself 
• Be more intentional in my relationships 
• Cultivate an interest in cooking 
• Try meal prepping
• Volunteer 
• Plan and follow through 
• Better rest patterns 

Because I think so much about these words. Time flies. What you do with it is completely up to you.
