I am getting off to a slow start in my New Year's blogging. Having had a few days off, I tackled several "SCARY" places in my home to begin "PACK-FEST 2011". The good news is, at the end of this journey is a new home with at least 500 sq. ft. MORE than our current living space. So...I must keep this in mind. Laundry room has been cleaned out. Scary cabinet with dark corners and unknown specimens -- CLEAN! Do you know I have over 500 books???? Went through a stack of magazines and tossed several -- at least one whole trip down the stairs and up again to the new place worth of magazines.
Feliz Ano Novo is "Happy New Year" in Portuguese. While 2010 was a year of just trying to survive, I believe 2011 will be a year of great creativity and growth. If we keep telling ourselves these things, we will eventually believe them. However, I also know that 2011 will be a year of letting go. My dearest friend, Mario, is moving back to Brazil in the next month. And it is as difficult a decision for him to go, as it is for me to be supportive. I also have a feeling that my life will be moving away from pavers and Brazilians. We shall see, but that is my general feeling. It is time for me to take flight in my own direction.
Here's to a New Year in which we follow our dreams with glee, skip whenever possible, and play with fabric with reckless abandon!
