reflect, learn, and grow

first of all, thank you all for the very sweet comments & birthday wishes yesterday-it made my day very bright! it was probably around this time last year that i started to read blogs regularly and am so happy to have found such inspiration, encouragement, and friendship. it is so incredible to have such a window into the creative minds of others and to correspond and collaborate with people all over the world.

so, as we officially welcome a new season and i start my new year, i would like to share some new things i look forward to doing this year:

1. to list my accomplishments. a friend of mine keeps a running list beside his bed. when asked what it was, he said, "it is a list of completed stories for a new book i'm working on." wouldn't it be nice to look at what we have accomplished rather than always looking at what we have "to do."

2. to revel in the moments and not always have to give everything a definition.

3. to hold onto the sense of momentum i am feeling right now and to keep creating.

4. to enjoy more walks outdoors for mere discovery, not just to get somewhere.

5. to continue to discover and be more of who i am.

go out today and enjoy the first day of spring, and maybe a cupcake.
