Put it on ice... dream of Paradise!

It's that time of year... the Holidays... things winding down, another year ending, and a new one about to begin. Truly one of my favourite times of year... a chance to let go of what was and look forward to new beginnings. After what has been an entertaining, amusing and difficult rollercoaster ride of a year, I'm ready to put things on ice, and truly try a new approach in 2012.

Sometimes we just need a firm deadline to move forward on something. For me, that's the beginning of a New Year. A time when starting fresh is unquestioned, and almost expected by others. A time for new attitudes, new outlooks, new behaviours. A time when others won't be so quick to point out the changes in you as they look inward and make changes in themselves.

So as the year unwinds... I reflect on my own "loose ends". It was recently pointed out to me that I am not entirely good at "tying loose ends" as I prefer to "tidy them" as opposed to "tie them". But I've decided I'm ok with that... for me possibility is the key to remaining hopefully optimistic for the future. That said, things have grown complicated in several of my dating relationships, I'm unsure which if any I want to end, start over or let go of... so I've decided it's time to tidy them up, and put them all on ice for the moment.  Let the dust settle, and give in to my new approach to see how they work themselves out. I am ready to be an active participant, but would like ot resign my responsibilities as Team Captain in this area of life ;)  Hoping the New Year is bringing optimism for you in your journey...

I've always been a dreamer...

"When she was just a girl, She expected the world, But it flew away from her reach so, She ran away in her sleep, And dreamed of Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Everytime she closed her eyes..." (Paradise, ColdPlay)
