Peace and Happiness

Happy New Year everyone!! Today is the day we decide to make a change in our life.  Well, I am sure as hell ready, and I hope you are too!  I enjoyed the last day of winter break before going back to teaching the children.  I love my job.  I love the people I work with, and the students I teach.  With teaching, you never know what is going to happen.  Tomorrow is a new day, and I can't wait to see everyone for the first time this 2012 year!

Now, it is time to start my New Year's Resolutions.  My main resolution this year is to find peace and happiness.  How am I going to find peace and happiness?  When I find it, will I be able to hang on to it?  People find peace in many ways--worship, calming music, long car rides, or breaking a sweat at the gym.  Over the last year I have tried many different things, but they have never stuck.  I am going to try to find my peace and happiness.  Well, I shouldn't say try... I am going to find it!  I may have to work on it for an entire year, but maybe these types of things take time.

The first step I am going to take to finding my peace and happiness is to detox my body.  I never look forward to the days between Thanksgiving and New Years.  I try to be healthy, but everywhere I go and everything I see is comfort food in grand amounts.  My first step has already begun.  Today I went to the grocery store, and I bought lots of healthy foods--fruit and vegetables.  It is time to get the super amounts of sugar out of my body, so I can get onto my happier, peaceful New Year!
