Thoughts before bedtime...

Isn't it funny how you oftentimes get reflective when you're approaching a milestone of some sort? I will, in just 3 short days, mark the last year of my twenties, and it's got me to thinking...

• I really want to be in shape. Not super muscle-y, but definitely toned. I ran a half-marathon in '05, and I'd like to do that again. But, that requires training, and I don't have a clue when I'd go running during the day. Maybe right now, at 10-o'clock at night?
• I also want to be MUCH better about spending quality time in the Word every day. Right now, I have my Bible sitting on my bathroom countertop, and I'm reading through Mark while I brush my teeth/do my hair. I don't know if that qualifies as "quality" time...so I'd like to work on that.
• I'd like a true hobby. Something that I can claim as my own. So much of my time is spent with different 'hats' on my head - the Mom Hat, the Wife Hat, the Youth Sponsor Hat, etc. that I am feeling the need for "me time". All those aforementioned hats are roles in my life that I dearly love, but for a while I've felt what can only be equated to as "creative energy" being built up inside. I have looked into several options, but unfortunately I have a lack of time and finances to devote to them. I'll keep looking, though.
• You know those "hats" I mentioned? I would like to be better at all of them.
• I think my 30s will be a good decade. BUT, I hope to live it up in my last year of being a twenty-something!

I might be up all night. These thoughts before bedtime have a sneaky way of doing that to me! At least it won't be a struggle to get out of bed to feed Logan when he hollers...
