january review

january's theme for my happiness project was 'be prepared'. oh baby. nothing could have prepared me for january, but i'm so glad i was implementing some new skills when the crazy hit. let's see...i was asked to give a talk in church which parlayed into giving the same talk in stake conference the next weekend (oh and the talk was on the temple and the temple president and matron were sitting next to me. no pressure.), subsequently being asked to facilitate a discussion at a temple coordinators meeting by said president, the stress of planning a HUGE activity for yw, then being asked to be the yw president, rounding up an entirely new board and presidency, an assortment of health issues, aaron starting school again, and other fun things that threw off my calm routine. whew.

i was so happy i was working toward being more prepared and if i succeeded at nothing else during the day, i could cross picking out tomorrow's clothes and planning all of the next day's meals off my list before bed. small simple things, but they really work.

i am happy to say i survived january and am still planning for the next day each night. i think i've formed new habits! february seems to be following in january's busy footsteps, but one can always hope!
