Happy New Year! I love the start of a new year, especially the countdown to a new year. Not the countdown you see on tv with the crowd at Times Square waiting for the ball to drop, but the countdown of the days in the holiday period between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. During this countdown I give myself permission to overindulge. I spend too much, I eat too much and I procrastinate too much. I do all of this with the knowledge that on January 1st everything changes.
On New Year's Day I activate the plan I hope to follow for the coming year. The previous month wasn't all frivolity, it was also about contemplation. I reviewed the previous year, thought about how I would spend 2010 and what I wanted to accomplish; not resolutions, but goals and a plan to achieve those goals.
By the end of the year I reach a point where I can hardly wait to initiate my plans. It's always a relief to be ending one year and starting another. I like taking down my old calendars and putting up new ones. It's the same fresh, exciting feeling of endless opportunities I get when I write the first words in a brand new notebook.

I hope you have an exciting 2010. May your year be purposeful, productive and fulfilling. May you find wonder, joy and love every day. And, at the end of 2010 may you be filled with excitement for the coming new year...Love, Julia
