A Happy 2011 !!!

Well, it is that time of the year again when we toss out the old and ring in the new and start afresh.  It’s a wonderful thing to be able to cleanse and renew and start all over…

So, I guess we should begin with good thoughts.… such as these:

And then, here is a  LOOKBOOK  of how I want my year to be:

Organized. (It won’t hurt to stock up on beautiful dresses too…)

Busy.  With work.  Lots of work…(I’ve quite enjoyed my sabbatical…so I’m raring to work).  It will be nice to have a beautiful work space…

…and a boon to be able to go to work  [looking]  like this….

Healthy.  More time spent outdoors.  Feeling the wind on my skin.  Kissing the sun…

And time Indoors – relaxing and enjoying homecooked meals….

Dining with family, friends and loved ones… if not at home then a picnic in the woods or by the lake…

Read More.  I would love to be able to read books that are languishing on my shelves…

Bedtime. And still have time to snooze, enjoy the comforts of my bed and dream beautiful dreams…

Travel and Adventure. And how can I survive without travelling….whether it be near or far…

Sea. A visit to my beloved sea and seaside town…

Farm.  And living my life provincial…

Resolve. I resolve to celebrate LIFE as never before.   To appreciate what I have.   To make use of my talents.  To be grateful for  family,  friends and the  kindness of strangers.

Gifts.     And end the year laden with gifts.   For everyone.   That I may give the gift of  unwavering support, cheery smiles, a shoulder to cry on,  an ear to listen, warm hugs, inspiration….that I may make the world a better place with my presence…

A happy, happy New Year to one and all!!!
