Our 2013 Motto

Do you have a motto that you live by each new year?

Normally, mine is just to keep living life like I am and keep my head above water.

Well, I'm sick and tired of that!

boo. hiss.

Ever since August, Mr. GrapeJuice and I have been talking about what we want out of life.

I know that I feel stuck right now and that he's not particularly happy either.

He started joking about moving to the beach or the Caribbean after our cruise last March.

I kept brushing him off saying that we could never do that!

But then, I thought to myself...why not?

What's keeping me here?

There's no rule that says you have to stay in one town your whole life.

That's kind of boring.

I want to travel.

I want to go to different places.

I want to be happy!

So, when this past school year started, I came into our beginning of the year retreat completely open to what God had planned for me.

{which also meant that I cried like a baby & my coworkers thought I was nuts}

But, I knew...just knew...that this is not what I am meant to be doing at this time.

I told myself that I wouldn't back down on what I said I was going to do though.

I know I have to push through and finish this school year.

Once it's over though, all bets are off!

So, with my new resolve for the school year, I came upon 2013 with even more determination and some courage too!

I am going to make this the very best year...ever!

I am going to do what makes me happy.

I am going to be proud of myself.

I am going to be a better blogger.

I am going to run a half marathon.

I am going to become fit and healthy.

I am going to love deeply.

I am going to live strong.

I am going to move.

I am going to be organized.

I am going to be honest.

I am going to be a better friend.

I am going celebrate life.

I am going to be me!

...because...

ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!

That's our motto this year.

What's yours?
