Oh, I get SO excited on December 31^st!  It’s like changing the sheets on your bed and looking forward to that nice, crispy clean, sun-dried feeling when you nestle under the blankets.  That’s what January 1^st is like for me – it’s like I’ve changed my attitudinal sheets (I’m not really certain ‘attitudinal’ is a word – but I’m going with it).  You can accuse me of being a Pollyanna but I’m not.  I am certain there will be disappointments in 2011.  There’ll be sorrow, too.  But what about all the moments of uncontainable joy and happiness ahead for us?  I can’t wait.  I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a new year to begin since…uh…December 31^st 2009.

WordPress, the host for this blog, has challenged its writers to either post daily or weekly during 2011.  I’m taking up the Post Weekly Challenge.  Wish me luck, while I wish you a wonderful, full spectrum, roller coaster thrill ride of a year.

Happy, Happy New Year to Everyone!
