new year resolutions - positivity- its the little things that matter

Hi everyone :)

It has been a while since I've blogged but life gets busy and there is no such thing as a pause button. I cant believe that we are now in January 2016, honestly where does the time go?

The last few months has been crazy and busy for me.

First i decided to move out of Sydney only to be back, within two weeks because i realized that finding a house is difficult, being back in my mothers home after 8 years is difficult and trying to get into another uni when i already had a place at a uni in Sydney was just silly. But hey at least now i know that Sydney is where i want and need to be and that i just need to deal with tough situations in a better way and know that better things will come with time and hard work.

Then it was Christmas, then New Years and after a bad good year in 2015, i decided that this years resolution was going to help me grow into a better woman and improve my life. My resolution this year is to become more positive, exercise and eat healthier and to deal with situations better.This is harder than it sounds, its very hard to change as a person and to break habit's especially when your situation and the people around you don't change. However with persistence it can be done, step by step and that's what i am aiming to do.

Next it was my daughters 5th birthday ! I cant believe how fast she has grown. I am so proud of who she is and who she is turning into. Although, i cant help but feel that time has just slipped by and i haven't made the most of it. I have come to realize it is the little things in life that count. I am now paying more attention to the way my daughter laughs, to the things she says and does. I am now learning to be in the moment and enjoy it more than i did before. When your a busy mum it can be so easy to get distracted and immersed in worry about what needs to be done or the problems we come across in our life. My daughter is my best friend but in her eyes she will not always see it that way so i need to appreciate and cherish it while i can.

Today we went to the movies, we watched the good dinosaur. My daughter cried and thought it was the cutest thing because i also cry a lot in movies, she is very much a reflection of myself. We walked out side after the movies and it was raining so i carried her to the car. I slipped a few times as i was wearing sandles and we were soaking but we laughed the whole way to the car. These are the little things in life that warm my heart and what i think matters. Sometimes you just need to let go.
So for everyone reading this blog, no one is perfect and there is no perfect parent. Just do what suits you and your situation, but try to remember to let go, stay positive and appreciate the little things in life... the basket of dirty clothes can wait !
