a year of good things.

i love toasting in a sparkly, bubbly new year. and slumbering into the dawn of its raging possibilities.

there is potent energy everywhere. with oodles of suggestions on juicing the most out of ourselves in twenty-thirteen.

i read somewhere to pick one word for the year. something to umbrella everything you hope to feel. create. manifest.

ANE christmas 2012 (49)

i was tempted to borrow someone else's brilliant word until, in the quiet of the shower this morning, it came to me.

meaningful.

i like the notion of making meaningful contributions to the upbringing and merrymaking of our little lovelies.

enjoying many meaningful connections with my mister.

sharing meaningful moments with friends and family.

and coupling meaningful thoughts with word and deed daily. so no matter my flaws and faults in a given day, i rest my head on the pillow of dusk knowing i cultivated meaning that day. and, perhaps, my contribution will grow legs of its own to carry forth something good into the world.

to me, a meaningful 2013 is precisely what i'm clinking my glass to as i welcome a year of good things coming our way.

happy new year!
