#20- Lentils and A Party of 4

New Year's Eve. And we are staying home. I actually haven't left the house all day. Just took a shower at 5:30 tonight because I decided that I needed to get dressed for some reason.

We decided we were staying home and just being as a family. I know it's best. I decided this hours ago. But what I am realizing about myself is how many times I have to keep "re-deciding" and trusting the decision I made. And that is just silly. I spend entirely too much time on these types of decisions in life. And it is time to grow.

And so I am 'saying it out loud' because if there is anything I have learned it is that once I realize and reflect on something about myself the root only takes place if I 'plant it' (I understand that metaphor even if nobody else does :)).

We are staying home.

We are a party as a family of 4.

We can eat lentils and bread for dinner.

Special is what you make it.

Time to go grab my boy and make that "Auld Lang Syne" canvas for the kitchen.

You were a great year 2014. I'm thankful I got to live it. 

In the words of my mom..."Life is a gift. To live is an opportunity. To grow old a privilege".  

I'm older than last year. Privilege.
