Happy New Year!



Rang the New Year in with my best friend and a toast of California Zin!

Angie...2013 is going to be The Best :)

A bit of fresh snow this morning and they are forecasting more throughout the day. It is a Winter Wonderland outside. Love it!

Enjoying the first "cup" of the New Year!
 (...caramel cappuccino...)

New Year's Resolutions?

1. To de-clutter. House/Computer/Spirit/Mind and Body. Organize and Simplify.

2. To Continue Zen Living. Mindfulness. Watch every sunrise and sunset. Notice and appreciate the little things in life. Gratitude.

3. To be financially pro-active. Have everything paid in advance. Enormous amount of stress relief in that.  Save toward a Maine Holiday this year. Engage in a monthly random (financial) act of kindness...whether it is groceries/gasoline or a $50. bill for someone who really needs it.

4. To Start a Moments Jar (inspired by a friend) an empty jar that you put in a slip of paper daily with one of the best moments of that day...to do over the entire year...then read them on NYE...
5. To be positive and happy and try to bring happiness to others. Gratitude for everything.

That is about it. 

Laughing, recalling a less than Zen moment with my middle son...lamenting the fact I had gained back five pounds from October until January...and his laughter as he rolled his eyes and said

"Mom...that is such a "First World Problem"

Perspective.

Thanks, guy!
