2018 Goals and Changes
Hi there!
Boy oh boy! It has been a while since I have checked in. But here I am. First things first, hello 2018! Now that that is out of the way, on to the cliche "new year new me" thing that is just so customary to announce. This year I am trying new things! Okay, I know you are currently shaking your head and saying to yourself, "I've heard this before" and you smirk and sip your tea. But I am truly making some big changes this year.
First thing that is on the list: A new job. I currently have a great job that pays the bills. My manager and boss are both incredible. Not to mention my supportive coworkers. So why am I looking elsewhere? Well, I have been doing the restaurant life for 5 and a half years. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. But, when it comes to the schedule, it's hard. Always working holidays is taking its toll on me. Never really having any control over my schedule is difficult. It is always changing, which I happen to love and hate all at once. I love the fact that my schedule allows for me to pick up extra shifts and get a bit more money that I didn't plan on. But I have a hard time getting involved with anything or planning anything in my life because I don't really know when I am working. So I am pursuing other employment. Something with a bit more predictability. Hopefully something that can take the place of my current job with the same, if not more income each month. Mind you, I am being fairly picky, and thats okay because I have a job that I am grateful that provides our family with a good income.
With that said, I am also pursuing something in terms of my health. I have officially ordered my premium starter kit with Young Living Essential oils. I have had the opportunity to try them out through samples and such and I will be the first to say I expected them to be a load of crap. Much to my surprise they worked so well for me! I find myself reaching for the oils before trying some Tylenol if I have a headache or pain in my hips etc. And usually I don't need anything else! They have helped my confidence some as well, being that closer to treatment time I tend to have less soreness and I almost forget that I have treatment that week. Now I am just getting into them. I'm no expert. Whether it be a healthier lifestyle, or even a little extra income on the side, I don't care. I am just excited to see where this journey takes me.
The last change I am currently looking forward to is: getting involved. I am going to start volunteering, specifically through my church. I want to work with the children like I used to. I miss it so much! I enjoyed helping with babies, or running off some of the preschoolers energy. I loved talking with elementary students, or being a buddy to the middle schoolers. I loved just loving on them. So, I am making it a goal to get involved with the children's ministry. I want that excitement back in my life of volunteering and just enjoying to do something for others.
So these may not be "big" changes to you, but I am excited about them. I am even more excited to see where they may take me. I am grateful to have a loving husband that is willing to support me in the endeavors and adventures I want to try in my life. And I am so happy for the possibilities 2018 may bring.
