Happy 2009!! I strongly believe that how you spend January 1 sets your intention for the year. It looks to be a FANTASTIC 2009!! I faded fast last night and Paul and the kids put me to bed at…8:30pm!!! I finished my book (more on this in another post), then slept until…7:15am!! Whooo hooooo!!!! Paul said he has not known the kids to EVER sleep this late. We dropped them off at their mom’s and are riding in a bit. It is expected to be 33 degrees (windchill 28) when we roll out to meet Tamara. Then later we are going to work on building a loft-like storage space in the garage (i.e. ORGANIZING–YEAH!!!!).
This is a great representation of what I would like out of my 2009. Physical, mental, environmental health and wellness. This is something I have been thinking about for the last month, anticipating the new year and my resolution(s). What kind of woman (athlete, employee, friend) do I want to be? Wife (training partner, partner)? Step-mother (role model, fun haver)? How do I do that all? Who do I think I am to think I am the first woman to struggle with these questions?
Most of you who know me know I am very black-and-white, VERY uncomfortable with grey area. But that lesson seems to keep offering itself to me to learn. All of what I want to be (see above) is linked to that grey area. Perhaps that is what my 2009 theme needs to be: Grey and loving it! …ok, how about grey and liking it!
. We are riding with Tamara on the 1st at noon so Susan is going to have a hard time getting in her 11 hours of sleep that she needs (although I doubt she is going to stay up to watch the game with me).
