New Year Contemplation

"If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am."
- Cyril Cusack

Hope everyone had a fantabulous Christmas and you got lots of goodies, other than the newer fatter cells. I honestly am I bit pleased that Keith and Nela are on a well deserved holiday this week and I am not going to be climbing onto the scale. Don't get me wrong, I didn't force feed myself or go mad like a pig on hay day, but I did eat some things that would not be on my usual menu. 

I did catch myself being a bit of a bitch though when I asked my sister to serve me something she had made. It was the portion size that she had dished out and I caught myself being offended that she would think I'd want that much for some reason or something. I can't put my finger directly on it but I did promptly apologize. So often it seems like we are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Who knew that the wrong place to be would be the center of the table.

Ours are VERY similar.

So for Christmas among the lovely things I got...there is something I was not only surprised by but completely appreciative to receive. Trev has been chatting back in forth now for over a year about getting snow shoes for us so that we have a winter activity to do together, his wish came true.  

Christmas morning after starting out at my parents, we arrived at Trevs parents new home to start another Christmas adventure. Within the large boxes given to us were a pair of L.L Bean snow shoes and in another snow shoes that were made in NFLD. They are a tad funny looking for super neat. Looking forward to trying out both sets once we get some more snow.

It's funny that a year ago I probably would not have been that excited to get such a gift. Maybe because I was lazy, didn't care or the fact that I believed I was too heavy for snow shoes and wouldn't be able to do it. But this year I was blown away and ready to plow thru some fresh powder by my own strength and will power. 

Fingers crossed I don't fall and wet myself.
