President's Message
Amber Brewer
February, the time for heart-shaped everything; diamonds, flowers, balloons, candy, and love letters. But, February is also the time when New Year’s Resolutions go from being a full-time commitment to a nagging and, at moments, distant thought.
As I have entered the gym and have finally started to see a treadmill or two open for use during the 5 o’clock rush, it began to dawn on me how short-lived so many of our New Year’s Resolutions, commitments, and goals can be. This thought made me really dig deep into my own commitments and think about how devoted I have been to them. Although this year I did not make my own personal New Year’s Resolution, I definitely began the year with a lot of expectations and goals, most of which I wrote down on a notepad that I cannot now find. (This "pregnancy brain" is getting the better of me!)
What about you? What was your New Year’s Resolutions or personal goals for 2012? Have you stuck with them, thus far? Have you found the need to re-prioritize them in any way? Has the exercise bike you bought or borrowed with the dream of a better body for summer gone from being your
beach body enhancing tool to a really convenient place to hang your clothes? It is so easy to get caught up in our daily lives with overwhelming workloads and last minute, urgent situations that take time away from our so well-intended personal goals.I encourage each of your to take the time this February to assess your lifestyle and goals and stay on the track you started when the year began. I also encourage all of you to stick to your New Year’s Resolutions, commitments, and goals, no matter how hard it may seem or how inconvenient they may appear now. Keep pushing through the next month and you will feel an even greater sense of self-worth just knowing you made it a bit further than most, which is something all of us need to feel more of these days.
