Happy New Year 2011

Another New Year has ushered in. I truly enjoyed my holidays this year, I did not stress about things or worry about where I was going, or who I was seeing. I just allowed myself to enjoy it. If people stole a parking spot or cut me off, I just let it go. I mean it really will do me no good to get upset about it. The holidays tend to cause people to get a little wacky and I just went on my merry way and allowed them to stew in there insanity. I still have my tree up. I am one of those that keep the decorations up through what is called "little Christmas" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Christmas My mother is from Ireland and we always kept our tree up until January 6th. Honestly, and I can not believe I am going to admit this, but I would love to keep my tree up year round. It makes me happy, and makes me smile, and to be truthful I am sure it would get me through a dark and dreary winter alot easier. However it will come down this weekend and go back to hibernation until the holidays are once again upon us.
What are my hopes for the new year? I just hope to continue to count my blessings, to share my life with people that love and care for me and to be as good of a person every day as I can be. Really what more can you ask for in life. Wake up each day and embrace it! We only have one life so we should seize it and live it to the fullest. This year I will chose to do what makes me happy and not always worry about what others around me are thinking. Have a GREAT start to 2011 friends.
