It's a Wonderful Life

I have not posted in eleven days!  I have all these drafts but none of them seem quite right so I just haven't posted.
But here I am, finally posting.  Christmas was just yesterday and it was more than amazing! I got an array of gifts from a nice watch to a Kindle to new boots and even Disney princess shampoo (from my little brothers).  Now that Christmas is over, I'm partially depressed because the season is over, but also happy because it was so much fun.
My little thought of the moment is: how wonderful is life?  I mean it is so amazing!  As the old classic with James Stewart says, It's a Wonderful Life.  It truly is.  I felt to blessed to have a spread of food on the table and presents under the tree.  It's hard knowing that many people don't, so I feel fortunate.
Also, the new year is approaching rapidly.  2013 is coming to a close.  What is so amazing is that I actually feel inspired to be a whole new person.  It may have something to do with the Arapahoe Shooting and other hardships, but it feels really good to know that next year is a clean sheet of paper.  
I want to travel to lots of fun places during breaks and try lots of fun things.
Later this evening I want to do some yoga and maybe even drink green tea.  Heck, maybe I'll even take a hot bubble bath and then a cold shower.  It all just seems so refreshing.  
Tonight I'll write a story or two.  About what?  I don't know.  But I love writing stories, because I honestly become friends (or really despise) the characters I create.  It is an incredible thing- to have an outlet like that.  
Who even knows what I'll do tomorrow.  The point is, I'm deciding to take time for myself- to prepare myself for the new year.  I want to have the cleanest and healthiest fresh start of all.
It is extremely reassuring to know that life sort of begins all over on January 1st at midnight.  I'll work on publishing some of my drafts later on.  
Go take some time for yourself!  I hope your Christmas was very Merry!

I'm thinking for my next post, I'll work on some New Years Resolutions:) Until next time xxx.
