Lifelong Memories

I have never really been all about the 'New Years' hoopla and all it brings, but this year was different.   I rang in the new year in the city that never sleeps with just a few of my lovely friends, dancing the night away at the absolutely stunning Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre Studios.  6th floor with floor to ceiling windows.  Beautiful view of the city is an understatement.  It seemed like the perfect way to sum up my wonderful year and kick off 2012. As I looked at the clock which read 11:27 I couldn't help but be filled with awe.  Over the past 365 days I have experienced so much life and love.  It is honestly hard to comprehend all that has happened.  Mistakes, failures, successes, friends, love, laughter and family.  So for two minutes I reflected on how beautiful life is and how much it has to offer.  And although there are days where nostalgia seems to take over,  I look forward to what is to come.  Life is unpredictable, but isn't that part of what makes it so great?  So in attempt to appreciate each day a little bit more,  I am diving into life's exciting adventure and living to create memories for life.
