Daily Quote #14: The New Year
music-fur-lyfe:
“We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives, not looking for flaws, but for potential.” (Ellen Goodman)
~Happy New Year everyone~
2011

2011 literally was these things. It was a year of extremes, highs & lows. Great wonderfuls & great teribbles.
And my heart aches still for some of those terribles, but I can’t look back on the year with regret because...

In 2012 I really want to find a form of exercise that is both accessible within my lifestyle and enjoyable. When I went surfing this summer it reminded me that to do a form of exercise that you enjoy makes you feel absolutely spectacular. I don’t want to feel like a weak mush. I want to utilize the amazing machine that my body is in all of the best ways!
But what I wanted to say is, you know, when you...

Reading makes me feel excited. There are so many possibilities. So much that I can do and see and be. Thesis work, and how good it will feel to do it well. New Years adventures with friends. DC trip finally. Classes next semester. Maybe a European trip as a graduation gift. Post-grad possibilities. Books, articles to read. People to meet. Art to make. Great romances to discover. Things to do....

Okay, I’m not one to bitch people out of tumblr. And I don’t even go crazy about credit (although it is important), but calling someone else’s work your own is so so so uncool.
