Other things I forgot about...

I was going through my pictures the other day and found the ones I took over winter break. At first I was thinking "when in the heck did I take these? I don't remember them" then I realized there were three weeks of winter break in which I was not planning a funeral or being sad. I forgot that I spent a week with my mom in Window Rock, I forgot about the two days spent in Mesa, I forgot about the New Year's Eve party at my aunt Robin's house, I forgot about our family friend named Bonnie visiting. I forgot that up until January 2nd, I was actually having a good time. So here's the pictures and if I was holding a glass of martinelli's sparkling cider I'd toast and say "here's to remembering never to forget".

I forgot about New Year's

With everything that has been going on in the past month since my dad's passing, I'd quite forgotten New Year's and everything it entitles. I don't even remember what resolutions I made so I'm making new ones. The Chinese New Year is in February anyway so technically speaking this is not cheating.

Usually my resolutions have to do with losing weight, but this year I have decided to focus instead on being healthy. If I happen to drop a few pounds in the process I will not complain though. I've decided that I will start slow by changing my diet and exercising once a week for the first month. With time I'll increase my exercise routine and intensify it. I've completely given up carbonated beverages and I'm working toward cutting carbohydrates. I've been thinking about my dad alot. He was only 50 when he died of heart disease and he had diabetes and so does my mom. I don't want to be unhealthy- I want to live a long and happy life.

Speaking of happiness- another resolution is to be happier. I want to be more involved and make a difference in the lives of others. I think I'm pretty happy the way I am, but I know I can always do more!
