Out With The Old and In With The New

2012 is here and I have high hopes that it will be a dynamite year. I have many conversations with a close friend of mine about how the last 7 years have been rather challenging. We have decided that 2012 marks the end of this cycle and we are ready to embrace all the positive things it will bring.

The older I get, the faster time goes. While reminiscing about past New Year celebrations, I realized I was combining details from several different years. This must be a side effect of aging. This January does not signify the start of unrealistic resolutions and fade diets, but is does represent the birth of my bucket list. I know, this is nothing new as people have been talking about their bucket lists for years now. I think there is even a hollywood movie about this idea and a country song that reminds you to, "live like you are dying."

As I mull over this idea of recording the things I want to see and do in my lifetime, I will share them with you. I know travel, involving an airplane, will make the list for sure. I am more than a little embarrassed to admit that I'm 37 and have never flown on a plane. What about you, do you have a bucket list?

Why now, you may ask? The only thing I can think of is that 2012 is the start of a new cycle, a cycle that will bring many blessings. I'll let you know how it goes, because it is out with the old and in with the new! Don't worry, that doesn't include 'old' friends.

God Bless!
