With New Years coming, it's a good time to start fresh, and get things back on track. I feel a little like December got stolen away, first I had three wisdom teeth taken out, and then all the traveling for Christmas, I've been eating poorly, and falling behind on everything, and I feel it.
I have to say, New Year's Eve has always been my least favorite holiday. Mostly because there's always a sort of unspoken pressure to "be" somewhere or "do" something. Last year I decided that this year I would ring in the new year by having some close friends over, and making things that help us fulfill our resolutions, (i.e. non-plastic bags, a meal planning chart, any kind of organizational tool to keep you on track, or just fun crafts) and then I up and moved. I pictured being in a cozy apartment, surrounded by friends, not back in my parents house, surrounded by...my parents.
So once again, expectations must shift. A quiet productive New Years still sounds lovely. And the friends might be included next year. I am going to take some time figuring out what will make my life work better. What the top priorities need to be, and where the motivation comes from to keep at it! I'm wishing you all the time to stop, take a breath and re-align for a happy, healthy 2009.

I've always hated New Year's. I spent 2000-2001 asleep in Mexico; I was a stinker who didn't feel like going out. I slept through it all, and felt great the next day!
