New Years 2010 Motto: If your healthy, your wealthy!

Wow, not one post in December... how sad is that! Well, it was a fun month with of course many fun activities! We had our usual five Christmas parties to attend and each one of them was special for one reason or another. One memory that stuck out for me was when Tatum told me her favorite part of all of the parties was spending time with her cousins. She and Jill got MANY presents of which I felt a bit of anxiety over what to do with them all but presents wasn't what stood out for her. It certainly made me re-think how present giving should be done next year! All in all it was a lovely holiday season of which I just finished putting away all the decorations...ugh it has to be the worst part of the season ending! (it was a 3 day event!)

Now for the New Year, every year I think about what my new years resolution is going to be? I never do the typical resolutions because I really try to maintain some level of balance when it comes to diet and exercise all year round (which means I never completely cut out sweets or junk food but I try to maintain a balance to it all! Eat in moderation and work it off!) As for this motto: If your healthy your wealthy... it applies to all aspects of my life. When I make good healthy choices regarding money (do I really need it or WANT IT) I usually feel good when I make that distinction rather than having guilt about spending too much and the list goes on and on. Whether it is a need to spend time with my friends or be home with my family... keeping in mind what will make me emotionally/physically the most healthy and of course happy! I work with a number of people who have experienced the true meaning of if your healthy your wealthy, so it is incredibly meaningful for me this year. Being healthy is ultimately the most important of all ... I may need to refer back to this post to keep it all in perspective. Happy New Years to you all as I wish you luck with your resolutions!

Enjoy the pics from the past month!

Tatum performed for the Cardinals Charities at the Friendly House. According to Tatum she took a picture with a very BIG Cardinal FAN... she still didn't understand it was Lyle Sendlein starting center for the Cardinals!
