Where did 2010 go? I feel old saying this, but it´s true. This year by far, has come and gone like no other. Just last Christmas I was excited to see my baby ecstatic about the Christmas tree, Christmas carols, and the whole palooza. Yesterday we finished putting up the Christmas tree. Where did these 12 months in between go? I love to see Josemaria's eyes light up as he walks around the tree, trying not to touch every single one of the ornaments. This is my favorite time of the year. I love it. It makes me nostalgic though, I miss the Northeast with its cold snowy nights, hot cocoa and tree lightings.
I have begun to mail out my Christmas cards. I am thinking I should include a picture of JosemarÃa in them, but it will make the process slower, so I'm not sure about it yet.
I gave myself a camera for Christmas and can't wait to renew this passion of mine. The transition from analogue to digital was a weird one. It kind of took the mystery out of it. But I have a new found love for digital, so here I come.
Photography has always been a huge passion in my life. That is how I met the last object of my affection. We were together for almost three years. Ironically, this amazing photographer somehow pushed me away from photography. I am not being fair, it wasn't him of course, but I still don't know why instead of bringing me closer to photography and instead of learning from the expert, I was driven away. Hmm..
Well, I am great friends with him now and have renewed my vows with photography. I will post pics in this blog which will be "The Mother of All Messes", a summary of what goes on in my heart and mind.
Just in case you're reading and wondering what the heck is this blog about, really, let me sum it up. I am obsessed with teaching, reading, parenting, trying to be fit and chocolate.
Talking about fitness, ugh, why is it so hard to stay motivated?I think it is my self-diagnosed ADD that doesn't help. I can't focus on too many things at the same time. Excuses, excuses. I give you my word I will make myself a disciplined human being by the time I am 33 or I will throw the towel. Ha!
The truth is this grown up life caught me by surprise and I was not prepared. Managing my house (no maid), taking care of my two-year old, working 7:30am- 4:30pm with 7-year-olds, planning for school, keeping up with my reading, scrapbooking, photography, "trying" (for almost the third year, I know super lame) to get back to my pre-baby body, and having a so-called social life, leaves me exhausted. I know exercise gives me energy, but on most days I can't even get to think about exercising, that I crash as soon as my boy is sleeping.
Anyhow, I have just now added something new to do to my never-ending list. I love it! I love my life!
Love, love, love.... love is all you need <3
