New year.
This is usually one of my favorite times of the year. Fresh start. Reflecting. Resolving to make better, do better. Renewed energy for it all.
Normally I write out my resolutions days before the year officially rolls over. Detailing thoughts about the year passed and the year ahead.
This year, the countdown had nearly begun before I began jotting down a few notes. I got caught up in holidays and family and babies and the glorious staycation that occupied the past 2 weeks.
new tradition – annual hand and footprints
I never found the quiet moments I normally crave at the end of a year. Reflecting is barely done. Resolving is not quite there.
Fresh start feels…. well not quite as fresh as normal.
But I’m not giving up. It’s never too late to make a change and I’m not going to let the calendar hold me back from still plugging forward on this year’s resolutions.
Resolution #1: finish resolutions before February.
Happy New Year to you and yours. 2013. It’s gonna be a good one.

You’re right … it’s going to be SUCH a good year, whether you make resolutions or not.
Happy 2013, Tricia!

yay for the new year! what a great tradition to start with the handprints and footprints. and for the record, I never found the quiet moments to really sit and reflect this year either. And my blog is down. Double whammy. Life goes on, no? wishing you peace, love, and joy in 2013.
