It's my birthday...I did not think of that yesterday when I was writing about firsts, but yay! I love firsts and I was born on December the first. I must say that I have always loved the idea of being born in December. Such a great month and the perfect time to be born because of all the holidays. Thanksgiving to Christmas is probably my favorite time of the year. I love turkey day and giving thanks. I love the decorations going up and then Christmas music and all the holiday cheer. I love pumpkin pies and hams and treats. I most especially love hearing the Merry Christmases and seeing folks finding delightsome presents for friends and family.
I also love the anticipation (and you know how I feel about anticipating stuff) of a new year, a fresh start. I know our calendar is only a human way of marking time, but January first (hah...another first) feels fresh and clean, like anything is possible. And right now that sounds like just what I need, a clean start, entirely new. I already have a list of goals forming in my mind, and I'm excited to perhaps add a new tradition...instead of just making goals (as in improving my life by ending bad habits or starting new, better habits), I want to make a list of things I want to learn or new hobbies I want to take up. If a new year is a time of excitement and anticipation, then why not have something fun to look forward to?
Oh and also..Happy Birthday to me! I ordered a new pair of running shoes...to be delivered soon! Can't wait to try them out on a long(ish) run...yay!
