Twenty-Eleven

The New Year is just hours away.  Plans have been made for its celebration and midnight kisses are awaited.  So many people consider January 1st a fresh start and as the day draws near, I can feel that urge to start anew.

I have thought a little about what I hope the New Year will bring… or rather what I hope to make of it.  There are exciting events on the horizon and the wish for more joy than ever.  My focus words for 2010 are still entirely relevant, especially the idea of simplifying.

Last year, my Mom blogged that she would like to live a “simple, tasty life; a quality life.”  Reading back for inspiration, these words caught me and stuck in my mind.

I wish to eliminate all the excess, the junk, and make room for the good, quality things I love and enjoy.  There is plenty of clutter to liquidate from my home and from my heart and I am looking forward to getting started.  Of course I know this is a continuing, lifelong process, but that does not discourage me.

My life is blessed and I am thankful.  In the New Year, I will continue to develop into myself and hopefully learn how to suck as much marrow from the bones of life as possible, to be more grateful than ever- another lifelong process, but if I get started early, the benefits can only be greater.
