Happy New Year!!

It's been said a thousand million times today, I'm sure.   I, for one, can't wait for the new beginnings the new year has to offer.  That is, if I'm willing to stick with my resolutions. 

Yes, I said the word...resolutions.  I normally don't make them because I feel each and every day should be a new beginning.  A chance to wipe the slate clean and make new decisions, better ones, that we can build on each and every day.  

But this year, I decided to make a resolution....it's pretty broad and open.  It is simply, "To Live."

I've always been a "grab life by the horns and wrestle with it" kind of gal.   Those who know me, know that I don't like to take a back seat in the arena.  So how in the world can I possibly expand anymore with this "To Live" resolution.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure.   All I know is that I turn 50 this year and, although it's not thee end of the world,  I don't want to hit 50 and wonder "what did I do with my life."

So, I'm going to live!  Live like it's my last day on earth.  If I want to learn to eat with chopsticks, I'm going to do it.  If I want to sing Karaoke even though I sing like a hyena, I'm going to do it.  I'm going to dance like I'm in a blender and I don't give a damn if anyone likes it or not. 

In the words of my sky jumping cousin Ryan, "I'm going to Live Large or go home!"

Pay attention now....let me know if you see a difference.  It means you're paying attention..  :)
