My littlest son came stumbling into the kitchen this morning, giving me a cheery “Good Morning” hours before his big brothers will roll out of bed. I was already downstairs because I snuck down early this morning to get some work done. I figured it was my best chance for productivity today. Despite the fact that it’s New Year’s Eve, our weather is lovely so the rest of the day will involved hiking the trails and heading to the park—not the best place for my laptop! So I rose early and tiptoed downstairs to write. And to enjoy a peaceful morning, drink hot tea, and listen to birds sing in the background (presumably about this wonderful weather). What could be nicer?

It’s also the day for those pesky resolutions. I haven’t put any on paper yet, but the ideas are tumbling around in my head. If I have extra time today, I’ll be checking in with my favorite bloggers to see what they’re saying. I love a little sisterly inspiration! How about you? Do you resolve? Or eschew the very idea?

Thinking forward prompts me to look back. As I do, I know that one of the best moves I made this year was joining Meagan Francis’ writing class, not only because Meagan had lots of wisdom to share—although she does—but also because my classmates are such smart, interesting women. Our interests and life experiences are diverse which gives a depth and breadth to our class that I cherish. Here’s a shout out to some wonderful women bloggers and writers—check them out this year:

My 2012 wish for them: all they can imagine. Plus, a little luck and lots of joy.
Happy New Year!
Thank you! I agree, I think one of the best parts of this class was meeting all of you great women! Happy New Year to you too!!!
Thanks for the link love. I think it will be a great year!!
Your early morning writing sounds absolutely delicious. I always tell myself that I need to try that: set the alarm before everyone else gets up and write in the quietude before the day really begins.
Thanks so much for your kind words here. Getting to know you and our writing classmates was one of my great joys in 2011.
Happy New Year to you and your family!
