Brand Spanking New

It’s a brand spanking new year! A fresh day all shiny and sparkling with promise. In Melbourne it has in fact been overcast and raining much of the day, but that is just when an introspective mood overtakes me, which is perfect for thinking deep thoughts and contemplating resolutions.

While it’s great to make such vows as eating healthily, finding that new job or making other worthy goals, this year I am more concerned with immaterial things: such that will make my intellectual, emotional and spiritual life richer and more meaningful. Healthy food for the soul, if you will.

I don’t want the moon, I just want my spirit to soar above those rainy day clouds to glimpse the sunshine beyond; to remember to stop and smell the roses from time to time; to think uplifting thoughts, and not dwell on the negatives; to live a life that is true; to be a better a friend, sister, daughter – a better human being. And before I become too pious, let there always be something or someone to tug me back down to earth again.

Here is wishing you a happy new year and all the best for a dazzling 2014 ahead, my dear Snapettes – thank you for coming by!
