New Year

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
Ours went entirely too fast (a sign of getting older?).

On the heels of a chaotic Christmas week, we skipped out on all of our New Year's Eve parties and went on a date. We caught The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Have you seen it? I left feeling so inspired to not let life pass me by. The perfect movie to accompany the hope of the new year. Big bonus: the soundtrack is fantastic.

There is something delightfully refreshing about a new year. January 1 is just another day, yet its presence gives us a new found hope of what we can become, how we can better ourselves.

Over dinner we planned out our year, putting our hopes and desires for the year into the ring. I have the typical resolutions such as be on time more, focus on strengthening my relationships, be a better person, etc.

But I want my overarching theme this year to be being present, do more of the things that I love and to not say no to adventure.


What is your goal this year?

Happy 2014!



P.S. Steph's Travels is now a .com! While I feel cooler, it doesn't mean much in terms of change around here, except that all of my previous comments are mysteriously floating in the internet abyss until I get them transferred over. Such a rookie mistake (123 comments from one post are missing), but I'm excited to start the new year a little more official.
