Today I completed my New Year resolution for 2024 of reading 24 books! So proud of myself for accomplishing this, and to be honest, I think I may even surpass my goal. I’d like to try and push for reading 30 books before the year is over. Not holding myself to it but I’d like to try. I’m just happy that at least one of my New Year resolutions this year has been completed. I’ve already started working on my New Year resolution for 2025 of trying to lose weight. Trying to get myself in a more disciplined mindset before 2025 actually hits so that it’s easier than making such a drastic change overnight. I’m just starting now so I can ease myself into it more.

In addition to starting New Year resolution stuff early, I’m also taking a social media hiatus. I find myself doom scrolling far more than I’d like to admit, and I want to stop doing that. I don’t think it’s healthy, and it’s such a time waster. I value my time, and I want to spend it doing things that matter, that spark joy, that make me feel happy and productive, and like I’m doing something meaningful. I want to channel this time more into reading, working on my site, and being more mindful. Maybe habit planning and putting more time and effort into my health as well.

Today I also celebrated my dog’s 8th birthday! He got spoiled rotten with treats, new food and bones. He also let me take a few cute holiday pictures of him. He wasn’t a big fan of the process so I didn’t get much time but I was able to snap a few cute shots of him. They’re not perfect, but for the amount of time I was able to get him to sit still so I could take them, I’m happy with how they turned out. He had a pretty good day today. 🙂 And so did I.

Anyways, I think I’ll spend the rest of the evening finishing up some holiday gifts. I don’t have too much left to do and I’d like to get the rest all finished up tonight so I don’t have to think about it anymore. I’ve been procrastinating. I’ve just crafted so much these past few months I feel like I need a break from crafting. So I just gotta push myself a little to get these last few things done, and I think I can get it all finished this evening. Here’s hoping anyways!
