MINE...Not Yours...Anymore

Today begins a new week of 2012.  If you didn't get the first week right or just weren't happy with it, today was your chance to start all over again, but why wait for a new week?  I think I am going to make every day even better than the last! 

I have come in to 2012 with a positive attitude, have made some new friends and am getting rid of all the negativity that used to cloud my life.  I do still have some things to do to commit to that fully, but I know I am well on my way!  Today was back to school for my kids who have been off for three whole weeks, I mean how lucky is that?  I wish Icould just have three weeks off and sit around in my PJ's all day.  Heck, even when I am on vacation I still have to get dressed and actually have things to do-always busy!  My daughter proclaimed that she was not going to school and how she was sad to be back!  Give me a break I told her, it's a new year, make it count!

I was walking down a hallway at work today and I noticed that I have smiled more since we rang in the new year than I have in a few months and that made me smile more.  Maybe it's the funny thought that the world may end according to the Mayans at the end of this year that has given me this carefree and happy go lucky attitude.  I mean if this is in fact my last year on earth I guessI better die happy!  C'mon all you crazy believers...you are not going to die at the end of the year so stop thinking you don't have to buy Christmas presents because you do.

I am reading a new book that has me wanting to finish it to see what happens and it is making me want to join a knitting circle, and yes I have even looked into that!  My possibilities in my life this year are endless and each day when Iwake up it's like I am writing the words on the blank pages ahead of my life.  That song from the popular show The Hills says...the rest is still unwritten.  I am excited to see what happens with each new day or what idea will pop into my head to do next or what new person Iwill meet in my life.

I wish that I would have thought about life this exciting in all the 39 years I have been alive, but I guess it's never too late to start living and besides we only live once!  I plan on living all the rest of my days however many God grants me with no regrets and a smile upon my face, and I am excited.  I am feeling a sense of happiness that I have not experienced in a long time and I guess it's because I have decided that this is MY life, not anyone else's...anymore.  I wish all of you a wonderful new day, each day!
