Everyone who knows me well knows that if Barry isn't happy, it literally effects all in our house! I am really good at self sacrificing to make sure that my family is happy. But, I have realized lately that in doing this... I am losing myself and is essence... losing my mind, haha. So I came up with a plan to put myself back into the picture here. Cause from now on, if I'm not happy... Watch out! I read a book recently called The Next Thing On My List. A good beach read. Light, soft, airy, with a few funny moments and an ending that may change my life!
I'm starting a list. Not a bucket list (I'm not about to die) Just a list, about 15-20 things per year to do for myself! I'll start a shorter one to end this year. Rules? Everything must be completed by the end of the year, in no particular order or time. Just get it done! What goes on the list? Here are a few I have thought of...
1. Do something once a week with a friend (daytime or nighttime, with kids or without)
2. Go to Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump (a place in southern Alberta Ive been wanting to see.)
3. Run a 5K.
4. Take my kids to The Olympic Park (never been and lived here 4 years)
5. Plan an occasion to dress up to the nines and go out with the ladies in my life, maybe to the ballet!
That's just a start. I'm still thinking. But while life is going, I better start living it right!

DATE TO THE NUTCRACKER --WE ARE GOING!
I had to laugh when I read your post. I've been thinking the exact same thing! In fact, just this week, I started roller skating again. It was something I did all the time as a kid (grew up in San Diego) and I have been wanting to try it again for the longest time. So I tried it once, then decided to sign up for the beginners class. :) But I'm doin' it! I'm glad you are too!
Great idea and a great list so far. I haven't been to Head Smashed in, and I've lived here my whole life. Momma really does need to be happy.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to dress up and go to the ballet!!!!
