Whirlwind

It is hard to believe it is December already. Maybe that is because it isn’t snowing in right now and I’m not very used to December in Iowa without snow (which I am thankful for every day of right now). This time of year is always crazy. As soon as you get to Thanksgiving and all of the traveling that happens during Thanksgiving and the Holidays it is just a jam packed period of time. During college this was the crazy end of the semester blitz and in high school this was the end of the semester and the heart of basketball season. I think the last time this wasn’t the busiest time of the year for me was maybe before Junior High. Now this season is filled with end of the year reports and traveling for the Holidays. I have done more traveling this Holiday season than what will probably be normal but this is still just a busy time. Even with all of the business and the difficulty to stay on top of the things I want to get done personally especially goal setting I am still very excited about this holiday season. House-giving was amazing and I think house Christmas will be even better. I really hope to focus on time with roommates, friends, and family this December. Because of all of the extra things going on and the time all of those things take up I have to be extra intentional to work hard to use the small amounts of time I have wisely to continue on towards my goals. Because honestly my life might not even slow down very much once the Holiday season is over because I might be doing some traveling in January to see friends. Thankfully I will be around town the next two weekends and I need to make the most of them. So its time to throw down two great weeks of chasing down my goals and crossing them off of my list as well as enjoying some downtime around the house. Can you say Christmas Movies???
