Happy 2011!!!

I am not big on new year's resolutions - I mean come on, Dec 31st you have no will power and suddenly on Jan 1 you do?? However, I get that the whole concept of 'new years resolutions' is purely symbolic. The start of the new year gives people a tangible fresh start. So with that said here is what I hope for in the new year...

LIVE
I need to learn to really live life to it's fullest. Grab the bull by the horns. Seize the day. Etc etc. I spend so much of my life planning and thinking through the consequences that I miss the opportunities to just live. I need to learn that I don't ALWAYS have to be responsible and do the 'right thing'. Part of life is taking risks and making mistakes.

LAUGH
I can't really tell you the last time I had FUN. Isn't that sad? I have a beautiful, hilarious, and amazing daughter - I should be having fun every day! I hope to find something to smile and laugh about every single day this year and every year that follows.

LOVE
If 2010 taught me anything it's that romantic love does not exist. But there are many other kinds of love that do exist. The love I have for Ava is mind-blowing. Also there is the love I have towards family and friends. What I need to start recognizing is the love of Christ. I hope that I can really grasp how much God loves me. Cause all those times when I feel alone, rejected, unwanted, God is right there whispering "I will always love you. I will never leave you or forsake you." Wow...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Warblers

OMG I am in love with the "Warblers" on GLEE. Their rendition of Teenage Dream was better than Katy's if that was possible! I'm hoping for lots more sining from the boys as the season continues.

I know it's an all boys school, but IF girls could go I would imagine they would wear something like this...

Holy Holidays!

Do I even have to tell you how crazy it is this time of year?? Like seriously, there are people every where and most of them are obviously not feeling the Christmas spirit! Is it really so hard to be kind to others during this hectic time? Everyone is just as stressed as you! Don't get me wrong, I'm no "Sally Sunshine" but I still try to be courteous of people and crap. So, when you are really ticked at some stupid idiot at the store, try to remind yourself of what Christmas is really about and try to show some love. Don't be a scrooge dude.
