Another Christmas comes and goes, and each year I am shocked when I look at a calendar and realize how close the New Year is. Since the trip to Rhode Island I have felt so amazing. I don't know what it is, and could easily be just a lot of high confidence days. Or, maybe I could really finally be feeling like myself again. Whatever it is...be it related to this year's size smaller Christmas jeans (!!) and camis or a lot of time to sit in coffee shops and think...I'm glad it's happening. I love feeling this way. I feel like I can do anything.
I'm not usually one for New Years' resolutions, mostly because I don't keep them. But...this last half of 2007 was pretty terrible, and I think that saying 2008 will be drama free if it kills me is a sure-fire way to guarantee the amazing semester that I feel coming. So...I guess that's a resolution of sorts.
I also want to do something spontaneous and dumb...or a few spontaneous dumb things, just to say I did.
There's something about Harford County. It's like a black hole. People just stay here...or are glad to come back...and I don't understand it. When I come home I'm always afraid that I will fall back into the girl I was in high school and lost all of the passions that I had about life...about making a difference. It's honestly very scary. I guess it's okay for some...if you want to raise a family here, it's a good idea...and close to places to work. But...it lacks an appreciation for arts and for culture...and an appreciation for people who want to explore what is beyond the confines of this northern Maryland town.
But...my family is indeed always amazing and the Christmas celebration was quite perfect. A quiet day with the family, and an evening at a family friends' house with a very nice bar.
*sigh* Ok...2008...bring it.
Someday, I want to celebrate the new year in the very first place that the new year hits...did that make sense? Where is that?
