2013.

so i have totally slacked on the blogging hobby.  i am such a procrastinator, and it has shown in the world of blogging, especially this past year.  it's new years eve, the last day of 2013, a year in which started out ok for me, but slowly fell apart.  it's been an emotional year, with many lows and bouts of depression.  one thing i set out to do early in the year was to try to do my best to keep myself in a happier place.  i found an idea that had you fill a jar full of things throughout the year that helped keep me in a good place, or just things that i was grateful for.  i first posted about this idea here.  so even though it was a rough year, there were many good moments.  i want to remember those, not the bad moments.  

here is the jar now!

so now the year is up and it's time to read all those slips of paper!  i tried my best to document what i could, but i know a few things may have slipped through and not made it in the jar.  it's a tall jar and the paper is pretty flat, but it got about 3/4 full!  not bad, not bad.  i plan to list what i wrote in another post.

so as we say goodbye to 2013, a year i am ready to say goodbye to, i will read through these slips of paper, and remember the good times.  

i have many goals for 2014, mostly just personal stay organized, save money, be healthy (you know, the usual), but my other main goal is to do a better job at blogging.  i have 3 very delayed posts to write; the wine and dine half marathon, the jingle jungle 5k, and the christmas story 10k.  yes, they were all over a month ago, but i am determined to post them, they were so fun! i am still organizing my pictures from them all, especially the disney races, but i plan to post them all here.  they will just be really delayed posts, but i am determined to get them up!  

so thank you for sticking with me, the few readers i have, and i hope to do more frequent postings in the new year, maybe do a revamp of this blog (we'll see), and hopefully gain a few more readers! i read so many blogs that i truly enjoy and they inspire me to try to do better!  time for a fresh start!
