I decorated the house! Hooray for Christmas!

A slow day day today...all of the snow outside just makes me want to stay indoors and appreciate the beauty of winter from inside my heated living room. Last night I went to my final class at Joy's house (prof). It was a blast! More like a party than a class. I hadn't realized how much I'll miss being surrounded by such creative, diverse people every Wednesday night. We had pizza, lots of cookies and brownies and plenty of beer and wine. Some of us had more beer than others.

I have really appreciated being able to write again. Sometimes all you need is a little pushing to rediscover love for something you hadn't even realized you missed. I love immersing myself in a creative environment, whether it be art class or a creative writing group. I hope I'll be able to do more in the future.














I just found out I'll be pursuing something else I love (community service) as leader of a junior Girl Scout troop. Apparently they have been wanting to get off the ground as a troop but haven't had the leadership to do so. I remember the good times I had as a Girl Scout and hope I can live up to the position and be a positive role model for these girls. I'm so excited to be a part of their development as young adults.

This year I want to work on living up to my potential- my lifestyle, my body, my goals...everything I want to be that I feel I've fallen short on . I know (and hope) I will have to push myself into working harder than I have before, but I feel it will be worth it in the end. I want to look back next year and be proud of what I've done.
