All Things Bright and Beautiful

Starting Over
2008 arrived with a bang for Miss TheArtofLiving. At half past midnight on 31 December she was out of church and straight into that party that I wrote about a few weeks back. And what a party it was. After all the praying and praising, it was time to shake everything my mother (actually The Lord) gave me and celebrate the entrance of a new year and new, better, beginnings.

The past three weeks have been enormously fun and love-filled. Plenty of resting, socialising, partying and some 'me time'. It’s funny how, in every day living, we don’t realise how much we omit to give of ourselves to ourselves. Life had been filled with so much doing, doing, and yet more doing. I learnt to relax again, learnt to unwind again, and I even discovered the joy of early morning running in the mountains.

So Miss TheArtofLiving starts 2008 thanking God for Him, and celebrating all things bright and beautiful – family, friends, and the gift of life. She also enters into 2008 exuberantly expectant for fresh, happy, brighter beginnings for 2008.
