Being present

Happy New Year!

Can you believe it is already 2012?  I sure can’t.  Life keeps flying by.

2011 was a good year.

Bill and I bought a house.

He raced bikes.

I participated in running events.

Pepsi got lots of walks.

And we ate lots of great food.

Sometimes healthy.

Sometimes not.

We had quality family time.

And lots of friend time.

This year I expect no less. 

Life is certainly to be lived, to be enjoyed and to be savored like a good glass of wine.

 

But there is one thing I would like to work on and that is to be present.

Be in the moment. 

To be off of the computer and outside more.  To leave my cell phone behind and engage in the people around me.

I think that is why I did not blog for a week.  And why I left my cell phone behind a few nights we went out on the town. It felt good to be out, riding, running, experiencing it all.  This is definitely not goodbye and I love reading blogs ( I will never stop).  Just a way for me to take a step back and balance and

Be Present!

What about you?

Some highlights

Hope you all had a wonderful Xmas day yesterday.

It was nice to not have any major obligations and to go at our own pace for the day.

We enjoyed a morning walk with the pups.

And then we enjoyed some amazing gluten-free, dairy free donuts.

We paired these little gems with a spoonful of almond butter and a side of bananas.

And then Bill ventured out on a ride and I finally got to some trails for some trail running.

We also ended up staying in for dinner and eating a nice big salad and sipping on some wine.

It really was a nice way to spend the holiday.

Now we are whipping up some oats and getting ready to head out on a hike.

Hope you had a wonderful day yesterday too.

I am so happy Bill is off today!

What are your plans?  Are you brave enough to get out in the crowds for some super sales?
