This cardinal hangs out at the neighbor's feeder. Isn't he beautiful?

Looking over posts from early 2012, I realize that I made progress. The holidays this year were certainly less stressful, and more enjoyable this year- due to my state of mind. I was realistic and I tried to focus on the little stuff, like having fun with my kids, rather than stress out about what I wasn't accomplishing.

Progress. I have put in a year and a half at the newspaper now. I purchased a computer and software and began doing some graphic design work and marketing work. I am part of a Leadership Academy, and I will be visiting Washington DC with that group in March this year.

I am trying to weave positive psychology and emotional intelligence into my being and how I do things. My self talk has improved throughout the past year.

This morning I went skiing out in the hills here, and watched the sun rise, listened to some birds, saw lots of wildlife tracks. It was so serene out there. I came home tired, sweaty, thirsty.

Here's to 2013!
