I am lying on the bed tip tap tapping this post on my Blackberry. I tried sitting in front of my laptop for three hours and coming up with a post but I ended up browsing in Facebook and Pinterest instead.
And so I gave up. Then I thought since I love my BB (much more so the man who gave it to me), I might as well try and write this post here. While wrapped up in my cozy blanket, surrounded by soft pillows and a fluffy teddy bear on my side. Mmm… That sounds good.
It seems to be working though since I’m already on my third paragraph. I would love to come up with an epic post about how liberating-humbling-challenging 2011 was and how much more amazing 2012 would be. But as I learn and continue to learn in my life, the more I realize, life can be easy if you choose it to be.
And this is easy for me.
Easy is stopping things that become more of a pressure than a pleasure. Easy is accepting that it’s okay to have fun. Easy is doing what you love the most so you can feel alive.
Life is so much easier when you learn to let go of perfection and to go with the flow of inspiration.
I close my eyes for a moment and I hear the man shuffling his feet on the pavement outside, saying “Taho!” The electric fan is whirring, punctuated by the beat of the “tick tock, tick tock” of the wall clock.
And I remember how grateful I am to have a comfortable home, to live in a peaceful neighborhood where you can still hear birds chirping in the trees.
I am grateful for my little girls who inspire me to be the best mom and woman I could ever be, for a husband who loves me for all that I am.
I am grateful for 2012, another year to make memories together.
I am lying on the bed tip tap tapping this post on my Blackberry, far from perfect and purely inspired. I intend that as you finish reading this post, your year will be filled with moments like these, when you can say, “Life is good.”
