Happy New Year everyone! I woke up yesterday with a weird bug. Not the sort to take me down, but the entire day had me feeling 'off' and there I was, in bed with a hot water bottle by 7:30 last night. A brief, "Happy New Year" at 9pm with the fam, (we are forever NY'ers and celebrate when the ball drops EST), and then it was lights out.
I woke before the sun rose, and with coffee in hand, sat in my car by the frigid (39 degree), ocean this morning, a perfect way to begin this new year.
Do you all pick your word for the year? I was dead set on illuminate as my word, (it's such a pretty word), with nourish and wild as its companions. And then, sometime in early December, nourish began to inch forward as the right choice. Illuminate and wild are still there, beautiful companions for nourish, which felt like my word, ironically or not, the morning I dropped my peeps off at the airport.

On the flip side, I don't set resolutions for the new year. In the past, whenever I've made resolutions I've failed miserably and always feel like complete crap when I do. It's like a set-up to fail in my book and instead, on this day, I try to be/do what I want the year to have a lot of.
++++++++++
I feel hopeful and hope-filled, something I haven't been able to feel/say/do in a long time, and it feels really good.
