Every January there is a rush that fills the general population. The local gyms are crowded, there are a few less hipsters smoking outside coffee shops and I find myself spending a little more quality time in front of a blank word document. The New Year is a pensive and empowering time that begs the question: what will stay and what will go. Even with the most likely outcome of things disappearing and reappearing mid-February, its an important time for self reflection.
Around midnight last night I decided to continue my self reflection with a full season of How I Met Your Mother. This may not be the most anticipated facet of my New Year goals, but it did lead me to this moment as the sun is rising. I shimmied myself, my laptop, my quilt, and my cup of tea up the ladder to my roof (don't ask me how, its some miracle of Quantum Physics) and am sitting with the sunrising typing this blog with Ted Mosby's voice narrating my thoughts. It may not be the most productive moment of my self reflection, but it is specific. I think I'd like a few more specific moments this year and that in a nut shell is my New Year's Resolution.
Very lovely image you have painted for us Becky. I hope you were snuggling under a very special quilt :)
