Not Another New Year's Resolution

Not Another New Year's Resolution

Hey y’all! Welcome back to Peaches and Pigs. I wanted to share my New Year's resolution with ya’. insert eye roll

I know I know… we are tired of hearing about everyone's weight loss and diet goals, saving money, not getting Starbucks coffee, and whatever else people may have vowed for the year (and possibly already quit by now). 

This one is different - I swear!! 

Let me paint the scene. It was New Year’s Eve and I had a few moments to myself, and I was missing my best friend who wasn’t able to come to our little shindig this year. She has come to every 4th of July and NYE get-together that we have put on for as long as I can remember. So her presence was notably missing from me. 

At that moment, I kind of had an epiphany for my resolution for the new year. I looked back at everything that brought me joy and happiness for 2023 and decided I wanted MORE. More time with friends, more moments baking with my kids, more celebrations with family… the real things that brought true happiness and contentment. 

All are relatively simple to achieve, they just require you to set the intention and move forward with it.

So this isn’t your normal resolution, where I set a specific goal of how many coffee dates I have with my girlfriends, or how many loaves of bread I am going to bake - but instead being more intentional with my relationships. If they brought me so much joy last year, I want to strive for more of that. 

So, no matter if you are reading this in January or June, cheers to MORE JOY!
