Slowing down

I'm not sure that I've realized it before, but I think the time after Christmas and New Year's is one of my favorite times of the year.  I enjoy all of the anticipation leading up to Christmas and the excitement of Christmas, but it's nice to have the shiny new year ahead of me to fill with plans and goals and anything else I can dream up.

I especially like that I have several days of break left to enjoy before having to go back to school.  While I haven't accomplished much of what I wanted to get done during break, I'm okay with it because I keep getting sick so I've been forced to slow down, which is obviously something that I need.  Hopefully I can keep from having to be sick in order to slow down from now on.
