One word...simplify

Happy 2013!!  I always get a bit anxious when a new year comes about. I figure...gosh I survived a WHOLE year and a BRAND new one is coming 12 long months. But this year, that anxiety was short lived as I feel more powerful now in taking charge of my life. My goal this year is to simplify. So many areas in my life can use this. My relationship with my family, my house, how I reason, how I volunteer! I will try hard this year not to complicate things. I also want to make time for this journal. I'm a strong believer that writing helps clear the soul.

First on the clean up list my photos. Next my computer files. Then the huge pile of frames left in my room that needs photos in it! We spent 12 hours on the bathroom linen closet and under the vanity and the closet. It looks beautiful.  I feel calm when I am in there now. I try to keep that one day at at time theory to not let my anxiety get the best of me. We'll see how it all pans out.

I do have to say that I am hopeful for this year. Hopeful that I will have a new attitude when dealing with the people closest to me. Trying not to get my feelings hurt. I mean seriously I have everything a girl should want. I just need to adjust the way I react to them.

I feel very random right now. Probably because I'm so excited to get started.

I'm going to enjoy the last few days I have of winter bliss and welcome in the new year.
