Snow Days and Time to Reflect

I have spent a lot of time thinking this week. I have thought a lot about who I am and why things affect me the way they do and also about where I want to be this time next year. Most importantly .. just as I am now..

I WANT TO BE HAPPY.

I believe happiness is more then just a state of mind.. its about ones well being, and essentially about balance as well. There are going to be good days, and bad days.. but at the end of each of those, I want to be content with myself and with my choices.. and with the fact that life is a work in progress :)

I recently accepted a promotion at work, only to find that although I respect the company and the people I work with, the job is not a good fit for me. 

And because I believe there is always a greater plan for us all, at the same time I was coming to this realization, I was offered another job in the same field at a different location that I know will be a much better fit for my family and I. 

I feel so very blessed to be considered for and offered job positions.. 

and I feel wonderful knowing that in the end, it is my choice and only I know what is going to keep me in a state of HAPPINESS.

I have also been considering taking some online classes next fall to begin the process of finishing my elementary education degree.. It will not be something that happens overnight.. but I would like to take my time and just start chipping away at it. I want to continue to be an example for my children that we should finish what we begin. I know I will not complete it any time soon but I am sure that I WILL finish it eventually .

I also want to be at my goal weight and have a drivers license :) 

I know all of these things will happen in time, because I am going to continue to put in the hard work to make it happen . 

Please, stay with me and help support me along the way <3
