Make 2011 the Year of Bliss

I began 2010 calling for MORE. I wanted more joy, more butterfly kisses, more sweat, more spontaneity, and more living. And 2010 delivered more of everything, more traveling, more moving, more adventures. It was an exhilarating year, full of changes and challenges.

I'd like 2011 to be the Year of Bliss. The year of appreciating the bliss in the little moments that make up the mosaic of life.

• The bliss of spontaneous kitchen dance parties.
• The bliss of my husband's hand in mine on a Saturday night.
• The bliss of happy conversation around the dinner table. 
• The bliss of sharing cookie dough with a crowd of happy kids.
• The bliss of filling the blank page in a burst of creativity.
• The bliss of the first bite of an unforgettable dish.
• The bliss of preschool pick up hugs.
• The bliss of sharing a blanket with my daughter as we read on the couch.
• The bliss of a great book cry.
• The bliss of a long run on a sunny day.
• The bliss of filling the house with the aroma of roasting butternut squash.
• The bliss of the tickle of sand between my toes.
• The bliss of a beautiful sunset.

Wishing you a 2011 filled with all the bliss you crave. Can't wait to hear about your resolutions.
