To be more present for my children and husband. I haven't really been there for them. I have but I haven't. I want to spend more time with them. Talk and go do things together.
Eat out less. Lately my son Kal-El has been getting into cooking. He is Culinary Arts in school and wants to cook more. We eat out anywhere from 1-2 nights a week. I would like that to be like 1 or 2 times a month. I bought some cook books to get some inspiration and quit making the same things over and over.
Start exercising. I need to get moving. My doctor tells me to get out and walk at least. My husband also says it. They say it can help with my depression. I would like to loose a couple of pounds also. For Christmas my mom bought me a pet stroller. I would like to take my pet bunny Pancakes for a walk. I took her once and she liked it so I'd like to do that again. My daughter Kara Love always ask to go for walks around the neighboorhood. This is a way to get moving.
Be more creative. I would love to get back to making things. Paint, make jewelry, learn to corchet. My daughter Jaslynn loved to make jewelry. During her cancer treatments she would make bracelets for family, friends and the nurses. I am going to try to pick up crochet this year. It looks like fun. I can do it while I wait for the kids to get out of school.
Read at least 2 books. I recently started reading again. Right now I am into self help books and personal growth books. I have found some great books at Goodwill, Half Price Books and Barnes and Noble. I need to read at least 4 more books from my collection before I buy anymore. That's a rule I made for myself.
The last thing I have for May is start taking care of myself better. Living with my mental illness its hard for me get put together. I struggle alot. Sometimes its hard to shower and brush my teeth. I just I don't know have the energy. Please do not judge me but its really hard. So I am going to try my best to put myself together.
Those are my intentions for May. I will report back and see how many of them I accomplished. Thanks for stopping by and come back tomorrow.
XOXO,
Hope Angeline
