I love playing my banjo. My son recently started the guitar and I'm starting to learn that too. I feel playing helps our relationship and helps me relax. I also want to work on setting time aside for a date with my husband once a month. 

I am joining a 30 days of Yoga and mindfullness for the month of January.  I will continue the practice (at least 3x/week) after my 30 day challenge is complete. 

I commit to be focused and realize that what I put off today will still be there tomorrow, but what if tomorrow never comes?

I am committed to stop smoking by the beginning of 2018. Have already taken steps in that direction. I'm not being a very good role model when I'm educating my fresh bypass patient about the dangers of smoking, when I'm still smoking myself.

I need to be more “in the moment” by: not thinking about work all the time even when home listening to others concerns even when I feel I need to be doing something more industrious  focusing more on family not be in such a hurry to get everything done ASAP 

Commitment to exercise at a slower pace & get adequate sleep.
