New Year's Eve

I Love this quote...
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential. ~Ellen Goodman

Every New Year's eve my husband and I go out to dinner. Just the two of us. We relax and talk about the past year. All the good things...and the bad. Then we talk about what we would like to see the new year bring. Things we'd like to do, places to go, hopes and dreams.

I honestly can't remember the last time I stayed up for midnight, but so enjoy waking up in the morning to a quiet house and the feeling of starting anew.

It has been a tough year for me. The first half seemingly consumed by things in my life emotionally. The toughest for my marriage. The second half more a physical strain with the injury to my back, nerve damage to my leg and foot and my excessive weight gain.

So, yes, I am looking forward to "starting new". A new beginning..... What a concept,so simple really. The ability to just begin again. What my guides have told me time and time again....."Start where you are".

Here... is where I am.
