After a hectic 2018, I had made a promise to myself that I would slow down and relax more! I have accomplished that so far!
1, My new job is much less stress (started that job 12.03.18), so that makes my days much less hurried and stressful.
2. I knitted a cute snowflake hat for Owen. It turned out really well and now I'm working on one for Jack.
3. I'm reading again. I am almost done with the Christmas book I started in November. I have also listened to The Bastard by John Jakes. I am going to start listening to The Wife, which was recommended by my sister.
4. I have started dieting and so far I have lost 4.5 lbs.!! I walk almost every night with John after dinner and that has been very relaxing for me.
5. I really don't get too worked up over getting projects done by a specific time. I work on my projects and get them done but I don't make a specific date it has to be completed unless it is a gift.
Basically I am not going to let things bother me, or get to me like I was. I really think it was because I had so much work to do at my last job and I was very, very stressed out.
I hope you all are having a wonderful 2019 and remember take time for yourself and relax!! Hugs!!
