Yes, that’s a picture of my carpet. Over the weekend I got this crazy idea that it wouldn’t be so bad to steam clean my own carpet. Yes, I know. Totally.Completely.Crazy!! But now I’m done and it is such an amazing feeling – I keep walking over the carpet and I think to myself – “There’s where I got that big spot out.” “Oh there’s where Wyatt spilled red gatorade - look, it’s gone now!” However silly it may sound, I actually feel really proud of myself! So, what does carpet have to do with 2010?? So glad you asked…
Each year, internally, I like to come up with a theme. Something to give me focus, to reflect back on and measure how far I’ve come. Well, 2009 has come and gone as though I were a set of bowling pins and a champion bowler sent a bowling ball about 100 mph down the lane and got a strike. Seriously. I feel that blown away by the last year. An introspective old soul, I have asked myself, “What did I accomplish this year?” “Did I do well as a mommy?” “Did I do good for those who needed it?” “Did I love my family and friends freely and unconditionally?” I think you get the point. Well, this year. Ummm. I know it came and went. Fast. Too fast! I didn’t enjoy life the way I should have. I’ve been so anxious for the new year to start! A chance to start over, to regroup, to collect my thoughts, my dreams, my goals and move forward. A chance to say goodbye to the messiness of 09 and begin…
My carpet looks brand new. Ok, well, almost brand new. 2010. A brand new year. A chance to set new goals, to wipe the slate clean, to reach farther and higher, to love more freely, to dream bigger. 2010… A chance to begin.
