How was everyone's holidays? I hope you all were able to spend time with your family and ring in the New Year in style. I spent New Year's up at my grandparent's in Boothbay Harbor, ME and it was blissful. Monday night, I cooked for all of us and then the festivities began. Each one of us wrote goals for 2013 and then we sent them into the universe through the flames of a driveway bonfire. We ended the night with an at home fireworks display that was as terrifying as it was enchanting. But the most exciting part of the visit came the next morning when my Uncle Tom, cousin Jules and I plunged into the frigid Atlantic to raise money for Boothbay's Y.
Above is a video from the event. Let me assure you that the video does not paint a fair picture of just how cold it was, and WINDY! My goodness, it was just awful, but also exhilarating. And it helped me set the tone for the rest of they year. This year I have many goals and resolutions and one of them is to venture outside of my comfort zone more. And boy was this outside my comfort zone, I hope you enjoy watching me freeze (I'm the one wearing a navy blue tshirt and navy blue shorts).
Post-it Phrase of the Day: "I, not events, have the power to make me unhappy or happy today."
