Opening A Window

I started off the new year in a slump. So bad that I wrote an uber depressing blog post that I have since deleted as some things are just better left undocumented. I am ready to get my spunk back and would rather shine the light on that. Life is so much more fun while focusing on the positive!

On my way home today I was listening to The Current and Mary Lucia was talking about how she sleeps with the window open even when the temps are below zero. "But don't you freeze?" she was asked. No, she responded, because the colder it gets the closer her pets snuggle up to her. I love the picture in my mind of her smooshed between her dog and cats creating their own little world of warmth within the frigid space. A perfect metaphor for my life right now. Even though I've been feeling a chill from certain areas of my life, I am leaving the window open because the people who really matter are keeping me warm with their loving spirits.

Thanks to those who love me no matter what.

With that perspective, I am looking forward to an awesome 2011. No expectations for anything particular this year. Just an openness to feeling cozy in the right now.
