Bring it on, 2013.

Happy New Year, y'all!

I was a party pooper this year and rang in the New Year fast asleep.  After working a full day up at the tour desk at Epcot, I was super tired and not eager to stay up until midnight since work awaited me the next morning.  However, my roommate Shelly and I had a lovely evening with PJ's, nachos, popcorn, tea, Martinelli's, and a movie.

Since it was the first Sunday of the month at church, people in my congregation had the opportunity to bear their testimonies if they so desired.  It was a great meeting full of thoughts on new beginnings and renewing or creating new goals.

I LOVE this time of year.  It feels like a breath of fresh air, or my favorite analogy of new leaves.  You know that feeling when you feel so renewed, and the air around you just smells of new beginning?  I love it.  I love the way it makes me feel hopeful and eager for the day to present its offerings to me.  The feeling doesn't come every day, but when it does, I soak it in and breathe deeply.

It's incredible to stop and look back on 2012: the good, the bad, and the ugly of it.  There are things that I'm still working on, other challenges I've conquered, and an opportunity to take the unfinished business on to 2013.

Ready?  Set... GO change the world.  :)
