A shining hat of hope

The hat truly speaks for itself. Inauguration day? For that, I have no words. I am politically overwhelmed. Bedazzled if you will.  Currently, I am picking myself up and dusting myself off. How are you? 

Fresh

The kids in my group all know my favorite saying. In fact, they tend to recite it with me when annoyed or whisper it quietly when being corrected. "Every day is fresh with no mistakes in it". Fresh. What a wonderful word. Rolls so nicely on the tongue. It makes you think of good smelling things. Of  crunchy apples and clean sheets. So, for me, this new year is fresh with no mistakes in it. No year is mistake free. Hell, I don't think I can get a mistake free day. So this is what I strive for:

To try and think the positive FIRST before going for the negative. 

To read 

To peek out of my emotional burrow and get back into the game

To seek friends who treat me with the same respect I give them

To give my friends more respect :P

To spend more time with family

To travel

And to actively find the funny in the darker moments of my day

If I mess up--well, every day is fresh.
