auld lang syne

oh, 2011. i’m both heartbroken and relieved to wish you farewell. it’s been quite a journey, these past 365 days. it was a year of new beginnings as well as old favorites. it was adventure and excitement as well as stability and commitment.

and as for 2012?

… how about less “i can’t” and more “i can!”  let’s find new things to inspire us, new things we love doing. and then let’s do them! let’s believe and have hope. let’s not be so very hard on ourselves, but instead celebrate the little wins each day. let’s invest our time & energy into the things that really matter (our families, our friends, our passions) and be ok with saying no, thank you to the other stuff. be adventurous. be courageous and willing to try, and then be ok with failing. let’s be healthy, choose joy, and above all, live a life that matters.

blessings to you & yours in this new year. ciao, 2011.
