Another New Year, Another Opportunity!

2013. Already. As a kid, I would have told you that I'd be old in 2013! And although I don't feel that way in my head, I certainly do feel that way in my bones! Aaahhhh...how I love new beginnings! Another chance to wipe the slate clean! I love it so much that I chose a profession whereby I get two 'New Year's', two fresh starts every calendar year! This year I am jazzed! My brother lent me a book that I quickly devoured in a matter af days that has struck a chord: (Born To Run by Chris McDougall- an excellent read!). It has filled me with hope: Hope that I can find my way back to myself. I have been pondering over my resolution for a good ten days now and decided that it should be making myself a priority by taking much better care of myself. I even decided that my first step had to be finding a good way to relieve stress. It just so happens that this book offers the perfect solution to that: running! Sounds so simple, and for the first time ever, it actually seems doable and for all the right reasons. I will no doubt get into more details as I go along, but for now I'm choosing simplicity. Running for the sheer love of moving freely; for taking me back to my youth when I was a very happy go-lucky kid; and for being a great way to leave all the small stuff behind. I reaffirm my choice: HAPPY; and that is what I wish for everyone in 2013!
