Now the question is, how can I make it fabulous? I could focus on myself - getting into shape, eating better, nicer clothes, etc. Or I could focus on others - more service, working harder at my callings, being a better visiting teacher, looking out for my neighbours. Or I could focus on my spirituality - better prayers, scripture reading, gospel studying. Or I could focus on finishing the many projects I have left half finished or barely begun. Or what about booking a fabulous vacation? Those all seem like great ways to make the year fabulous!
I think balance is what I need to make the year fabulous. If I work on each of those things in moderation and finish this year a healthier, more organized and spiritual me, than I will have had a fabulous year! I am going to turn 50 no matter what, so I might as well make it fabulous or fantastic!!!
Yesterday was not a good start to the year. I took Craig to the ferry in Nanaimo so he could go back to Vancouver and school. After dropping him off, I stopped at Walmart to look for a few things and ended up buying some junk to eat on the way home since I hadn't had breakfast yet. Big mistake! By the time I got home, I had eaten all the junk and was feeling lousy. I felt lousy all day, got very little accomplished, went to be early and still felt lousy. That is the last time I am going to make that mistake. As I was buying the junk food I even thought, I am going to feel gross if I eat this. And then I thought, Oh, well. I don't care. Well, now I care!!
The FF (Fabulous Fifty) me is going to eat healthier, be more active, serve more, be more organized and spend more time on spiritual things! Today is the first day of the rest of my life!!! I've got to get going!
