Salutations

I feel the need to make a post of some kind.  I'm just not sure what kind yet.

All I know is that that three week break was a bit of heaven.  The first week of which was all on account of snow.  I use to think Kentuckians were wimps with their closing of school and business over snow.  I mean-- come on.  In Utah, we'd have five feet of snow and a major power outage and school would still be held.   I think I've had maybe one snow day my whole life.  But now that I've seen the impenetrable ice that builds up on the windy roads here-- I thank goodness that we don't have to brave it.  Plus I felt like a kid again finding out there was no school.  I'm pretty sure Ian and I danced around the house.

And while I'm on the subject of Kentucky weather... please know how big a fan I am of it.  I love Kentucky climate/weather/nature.  It changes in some way every three weeks or so.  There are not only four seasons-- but seasons within those seasons.  And they're all beautiful.  I'm sure I'll go into more depth about this sometime in the future... but not now.  But I will say... we had a white Christmas, with soft snow all throughout and then it was warm and breezy for New Years.  Perfection, right?  I usually get some sort of winter blues--but I feel like Kentucky won't allow it.  She kindly gives me breaks from the gray with warm, sunny days.  I really can't explain it.  At the risk of sounding dramatic, it's as if Kentucky weather was made for me.  It combines a bit of everything I love.  Except for the ocean, which is only eight hours away, so...

And hey!  It's a new year again!  Usually I'm surprised that another year has come and gone but not this year for some reason.  2010 was pretty lived in.  Eventful.  Full.  We're ready freddy for a new year.  And I couldn't really explain why-- but I feel like I've managed to leave some troubles behind.  The following quote I stumbled upon seems to sum exactly what I'm feeling:

i have so many new years resolutions for this next year.

not because there's so much that i want to change.

but because suddenly there's so very much that seems possible. 

Cheers.
