Bring in the new year... 2021! What?

At the end of each year, many of us are contemplating our goals for improving in the new year. I have had the same resolution for the past... I don't know how many years. Get in shape. Some years I've been successful at accomplishing this but most of the time I fall short. Maybe I set an unrealistic expectation or want it for the wrong reasons.

I am feeling different this year. Learning and growing more than ever. Painfully so sometimes. Lessons learned and still making mistakes. I am ready for a change. I feel like I'm shedding skin, ready to become better and brighter. There's a lot of work ahead in my journey to self-betterment but it's time. 

Forty and two will soon be behind me and this year I'm changing my goals. I want to:

1. Be more organized
2. Develop a routine and habit of better, healthier living 
3. Find a better way to get through the month of February
4. Do what brings me joy - hiking. 

I have already started with hikes to Big Springs up South Fork. It's very beautiful and peaceful this time of year with the snow. A bit icy in spots. I need to find my tracks! There you go, Heaᵺ! This is the answer to February. 

How do you all accomplish your goals? What do you do to get and stay motivated? I'd love to hear from you!
