So the holidays are finally and thankfully behind us. I spent yesterday afternoon dechristmasing the house which is always a bit bittersweet for me. I love Christmas and decorate like mad. On one hand I am sad to put it away and on the other, if I have to look at that god damned tree one more minute I will totally have a nervous breakdown.

Alas, I managed to get through the week or so of family activities relatively unscathed and I find myself having grand visions of 2009. I don't have resolutions for the new year as much as I have goals of shaking things up a bit. Is a goal a resolution with a fancy hat? I'm not sure. How you frame things makes a difference though. I feel like resolutions are made to be broken. And I feel like I am typing what I am thinking without a filter. It seems to be flowing quite nicely.

Anyhow, what need's shaking up and how to go about the shaking is the question. 2009 is already better than 2008. Last year was filled with many challenges (and lessons) for me and frankly I am ready (in my mind at least) to take the bull by the horns and go for it...whatever "it" may be. So many "it's" in life eh? The challenge now lies in where to begin. 2009 is the year of me. I deserve it after all these years.
