New Year...New Beginnings

     Every New Year brings me so much excitement.  A clean Slate, new beginnings, resolutions that last for a week or two.  Every year as January 1st rolls around, I am going to be FABULOUS!
I will change everything!! I will lose those pesky 30+ pounds, I will buy a new wardrobe, accessories and all, New Shoes, New Bags...and did I mention I would have unlimited funds to shower around on all of those I love as well?  I will get rid of old clutter, color coordinate my closet, be caught up on laundry and my house will be clean everyday!  I know for some this is their reality, for me it is pure fantasy...

     Why does the New Year convince me each and every year that I need to change?  Probably because a New Year brings with it a yearning to be better.  It is no wonder that only two weeks into a New Year I have already managed to not only overwhelm myself, but all of those around me as well.
    
     This year Will be different...for one, instead of "Becoming FABULOUS" I will realize (with extreme gratefulness to all of my loved ones) that I already am Fabulous...The only thing that truly needs to change is that I need to be gentler with myself.  I need to stop many times a day, as I truly love to do, to find the magic and wonder that surrounds me.  A compliment, a kind word, a smile for someone who doesn't have one, is all that is truly necessary in this complicated world we live in.
    
     This year my only resolution is to be okay with who I have become, the rest will fall into place as needed.
    
     This New blog is my greatest gift and resolution to myself this year, as it has been my dream since childhood to be a gifted writer.  I hope you too will enjoy this new journey with me...as I am so excited to share some wonderful life stories, favorite quotes, and laugh out loud moments with all of you my friends...

                                                                   Happy New Year to You All !
                                                                              Much Love,
