What Today Might Tell Me about Tomorrow...and the Next day...and the Next Day...

Happy New Year!

I'm so excited to get this year off and running!

My Friend and Spanish teacher Elisa 

Told me yesterday that when the new year starts

at exactly the stroke of Midnight

I should jump

that way I start the year on a high!

I liked that

So I did!

She also told me that I should make sure

the first person I hug in the new year

is a member of the opposite sex,

that way this year I would be lucky in love.

Clearly this is not my year for that considering

I was in a house full of girls at midnight

and my niece flew off the couch

and into my arms

as her "midnight jump".

Oh well....

I've got much more important things

to look forward to this year!

I don't know why

but for some reason

this year I am way more excited

for the new year

than I normally am.

Normally I'm happy to have a new start

but I'm not really "excited"

this year I am...

I'm really excited!

If today was any indication 

of what the next year holds for me

though, then

I better prepare 

to be insanely busy

to work hard

to have lots of fun

to be giving of myself to others

to get over myself continually

to let things go quickly

to stop stressing for no reason

and to be sure

to spend my mornings with God.

I guess that's not a bad way to live anyway

No wonder I'm excited about this new year!

How about you?!  How's 2013 treated you so far?!?
