I'm not usually in the habit of making new year resolutions - and although it is not the new year yet, I've had one on my mind for this year. It wasn't until makena_smiles mentioned it in her post today. I have also been feeling some imbalance in my life lately. I feel I'm stretching myself too thin, between hobbies, work, family and volunteering I find I'm feeling tired a lot. I do try and take time for myself to relax each week (usually for a couple hours on Thursday evenings at "Choir Practice", which is code for hanging out at the pub with co-workers). But I think I need to simplify a little and re-prioritize some of my activities. Family and work will continue as constants, but I'm starting to get burned out on the politics of our church. I don't want to stop going by any means, but I think I may be done volunteering as part of the executive leadership for a while. I want to make sure I'm exercising at least 3-4 nights a week, and I'd also like to be practicing my bass an hour a night. It will require commitment and discipline, but I think I can do it.
Also I'm ready to seriously look at de-cluttering our house. I know compared to a lot of my peers we don't have lots of "stuff" but it sure is starting to feel like it. One thing that will help is reorganizing the garage. We have some new shelving that needs to be constructed, and once that's done we should have some more space there. But I also want to look at sending things on to Goodwill or Craigslist. The time for change has come.
