Every year, I choose a resolution or inspirational word to focus my energy and set goals for the upcoming year. I haven’t talked about it much, but the last year has been hard. For the last few weeks, we have been collectively holding our breath. So, this year, I wanted to pick something that really stuck – something that would set a positive tone for not only me, but my family. I’ve decided my resolution will be to “choose health and happiness.”

In 2014, I tried making healthier decisions – I started running, drinking more water and occasionally, remembered to use mouthwash. I want to keep that momentum going and build on it, but would like to add in some fun too – impromptu games of tag, dancing with friends and date night with the husband are all on deck.

Did you make any resolutions for the New Year? Do you like to set goals? I’d love to hear what you have in store for 2015. Something tells me it’s going to be a good one.
