1.1.11

There is something special about the first day of the new year.

There is the hope,



and the anticipation,



that the new year will be better,

brighter,

healthier,

happier,

than the year gone by.


There is the shedding of what was,




the contemplation of what could have been,




and there is the promise of what will be...



There are the resolutions,

to be better,

to be healthier,

to be happier,

to do more and to be more.

What are your hopes for this year?

What are your resolutions for this year?



My resolution is simple.

To stop living in The Waiting Place*

To stop waiting for the right time,

the best time,

for more time.

To just start...

doing,

creating,

living.

Time waiting is time wasted!

I'm starting NOW!



~*~

For you, my friends,

I wish that the new year brings you

everything that you need,

everything that you desire,

and everything that makes your heart sing!


*The phrase "The Waiting Place" comes from the childrens book 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!' by Dr Seuss!  Clearly, I don't read enough adult literature these days!! ;-)  LOL

Happy New Year!

More beading, more blogging, more learning...and, of course, more fun!

And perhaps some competitions, some selling, and some tutorials.

That about sums up my new years bead-o-lutions. What are your aspirations for the new year?

I wish all of my readers and blogging friends a prosperous, creative and wonderful 2010. Thank you for your comments and encouragement in 2009, your support has made my heart swell and my smile broaden :) I hope that 2010 is everything that you hope and more!

A nice way to start the new year is with an accolade:

I was fortunate to win the 'Angels & Demons' challenge on the Beading Forum with my Angelus necklace. I love my pretty new badge!

My mind is swirling with new ideas. My first necklace of the new year will be posted shortly...stay tuned :)
