I love the feeling of a fresh start each new year.
The feeling that those goals and dreams that you plant on the first day of the New Year
can bloom into possibilities and realities.
That you have a slate that is just waiting for you to write on it.
I have been thinking about my ‘word’ of the year this year…
honestly, I always have a hard time choosing just one word
I am more of a several word type girl
indecisive, indecisive..
choosing a few or a few sayings that each are about something
I want to focus on in the new year works until that ‘one’ word is clear
One of the sayings I am drawn to
and that inspired these photos
blossom, bloom & grow
In 2013- it seemed to be a year that had a lot of things, people and opportunities
that were bringing clarity about a few things.
There were several things started out small – like a little bud

There were several things started out small – like a little bud
and at first, they weren’t so clear but as they grew and opened a bit they looked a little different
and became a little more clear
and then a little bit more
and all of a sudden in focus.
Maybe an ‘aha’ moment? I don’t know.
I am excited and energized for 2014 and
like most everyone- have quite a few goals and dreams
On the list- the usual ‘resolutions’
get more exercise,
eat better
meditate and listen to myself and the quiet more
Blog wise-
Work more and work better
I have a few fun projects on the horizon-

bigger remodel that have been on the back burner that will be finally.getting.going.
and some smaller projects, decorating changes and of course lots of DIY.
I would love to know what you would like to see more of as well.
I would love to travel more this year with my blog
and travel more for fun too
I am also doing quite a bit of photography

I bought myself a new camera for Christmas and once I figure out how to work it
I will be taking a ton of photos
mostly for a couple big projects I have been dreaming about for a bit

and that are moving into full force this year
Lots of writing on the agenda so making a plan to start with 15 minutes a day

I plan on just enjoying every day by day. I have very bad degenerative back disk problems and I made it through the entire year 2013 without a hospital stay and hoping for same in 2014. I am being careful ( avoiding major surgery)
I am like you I need to eat less sugar and stick to healthy foods but they just don't satisfy my cravings LOL
Love love roses and I seen a gal in line at the grocery store buying her a bundle of roses and I thought how pretty.
I need a better camera also but sure I couldn't figure a new one out LOL
this all sounds negative but i'm not really a negative person LOl
I have enjoyed your beautiful blog all last year and will be stopping in all this year
Happy New Year
