Happy New Year!!!!
And we begin again....
Here we are ...2015! Who knew??
Time flies......and do I need some Resolutions?
Remember when you were young, and the days seemed to go on forever?? I used to think, "Will this day EVER END?!"
And now I think," What happened to the day? Is it 5 o'clock already? Where did the day go?!" Is this something that comes with age? (Indubitably!)
Confession.........
I have so many projects that I haven't the time to bring to fruition and a profusion of incredible ideas that I cannot ignite due to the fact that I don't have ONE extra hour in my day for a new project. Are YOU like this? Are you feeling my frustration?!
I don't call friends back. I don't answer emails promptly. I am totally out of touch with anyone (even precious family & BFFs whom I love) who do not play a part in my immediate, present day world. I overcommitted to a PTSA job. And I think I might have given some really crappy Christmas presents this year.
My laundry, bathrooms, and kitchen are screaming at me to deep clean them. My physical world screams for order and routine. My body demands regular physical activity and a healthy diet sans gluten, sans fat, sans wine.
Do I comply? HARDLY! Am I a slacker? NO! Am I crazy busy? YES! But do I LOVE MY LIFE? OH YES!!!
And, truthfully, would I trade it with anyone on the planet?
Hmmmmm......well....actually...no. NO!
Resolutions......
#1) LOVE my family, my beautiful friends, our strong community, my really fun work - Vintage Spirit Designs, random people that I meet during the day like at the USPS, & my animals who teach me about unconditional love. (like the kind where you give and don't expect anything back... yeah, THAT kind!)
#2) HONOR and CHERISH the memory of those wise owls that came before me and are here no more who passed their wisdom onto me. Never forget it & pass it on....
#3) BELIEVE that people are basically good and desire peace and want to be loved even when fanatically tuned into CNN all day. UGH! I'm gonna make a t-shirt that says "Boooooo, Terrorists! We hate you!" That'll show 'em.
NOTE: REevaluate REsolution #3 ...Am I being naive?
#4) Do the best that you can in everything. Aim high. Have lofty goals. Work on inner self-worth. Do more Yoga. Explore Inner Goddess. Meditate. Go Deep. Get in touch with Spiritual Depth.
#5) Lose 10 lbs. Get botox. Whiten teeth.
.......And a Happy New year!
Fondly,
Courtenay
