I had thought to be here earlier in the day... to say good bye to 2012 with you. Plans changed when we got more snow this weekend. Yes, more! So much that my daughter's first slumber birthday party was postponed a day. I ended up waking up on this last morning of the year to five giggling girls and two hungry teens. It felt just right. Perfect, in fact. It lightened what could have been a somber and reflective moment and transformed it into a celebration over waffles and whip cream and lots of laughter. Thank you universe, for yet another gift!
I spent the winter solstice working on
Susannah Conway's Unraveling The Year Ahead and feel totally ready to release all that was and embrace all that will be. I have picked a word to guide me through 2013. It will not be any surprise, I suppose.
HOPE
I choose it for me
and my children. I wish it for my friends and community... I wish it for you. And I intend to run towards hope just as these wild and wonderful girls did this morning with legs aching and hearts pounding through the deepest of snow! Yes, I do!
hope .. your year is wonderful :)
