I probably won't get around to reading it since my book list is long and my reading time is short. I'm looking forward to reading it though, so I was curious about your take on it. I love your list of ways to get happier. I have a few of these on my list as well, and you've suggested a few others that have me thinking. For example, I'm off to read your post on messy desks now. My desk at work is a disaster I have been meaning to tackle for some time...

I was like ...I have been wanting to read this book. I was like you, burnt out in a auditing/ of accounting job and came home depressed and not wanting to do anything but lie in bed and read. I left my job and have been happier at home. Being a stay at home mom is definitely challenging but I am more active physically and feel its more rewarding than my job crunching numbers. I am glad you are focusing on yourself this year and being happier. I look forward to seeing how you are doing in your goals. I read Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by mom blogger Crystal Paine (aka money saving mom) and she helped me focus and pinpoint my goals. I have been working hard on them but I have not been blogging as much as a result.

Thank you for your suggestion. Last year...Hi Webb,<br />Thank you for your suggestion. Last year when I visited my doctor I talked about the terrible insomnia I had the summer before. She was 100% positive my insomnia was due to peri-menopause. I had blood work done at that time and discovered I am not quite down with all of this. Since I am still on the pill she will not prescribe any other drugs for me. She says the pill should be masking most of my symptoms. She also suggests skipping the low-dosage week when my symptoms are really bad and I have done that.<br /><br />I agree with you about the vacation.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-45696175229018601772014-01-14T12:43:08.482-06:002014-01-14T12:43:08.482-06:00Susannah,

All the family activities over the holidays along with the stress of year-end (my accounting job) always puts me over the top. This year I decided to just work and not use my vacation to attempt staying caught up. I ended up just feeling bad. I will have to come up with something different next year.<br />Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-74017854987143654732014-01-14T12:38:54.223-06:002014-01-14T12:38:54.223-06:00Midnight Cowgirl,

I think you’ll love the barre classes. Ballet is so enjoyable – I always feel 100% woman when leaving class. I’m kinda in the same boat with you right now, my husband just told me the other day the exact same things yours did. I think we, as women, try to do it all, all the time. No wonder we’re exhausted and teetering on the edge of a meltdown. I think your commitments are exciting and wish you the best of luck. I, too, am trying to implement some new goals in my life – starting with nutrition! Jen Ludhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792655854078025224noreply@blogger.com
