I have to say that January was a great month! 2012 rocks already!

School’s going pretty good! I’m finally getting into a good groove with it. I no longer feel like the confused kid from that first week. I’m having fun with my projects too. I’m currently working on a new transit map for Charlotte’s light rail, crazy, but fun. I’m also grateful that I have knowledge and tools already to challenge myself and make great projects. 

The weather has been so warm this month! It’s great because I’m walking the dogs almost every day. We all enjoy it. Last week I even had the front door opened, which the dogs loved. Molly brought her bone and sat next to the screen door, getting fresh air and sun. Even the plants got put outside from some fresh air. Once the mornings get consistently warmer, I’d like to get into running again. My goal is to run a half marathon by the end of the year.

I’ve finally got out of my cooking rut and have been making great things. Also getting a subscription to Cook’s Country totally helps! (thanks rob!) I made single serving chicken pot pies, chili, chicken noodle soup, sour cream biscuits and sage biscuits that we made into breakfast sandwiches. 

I’ve just been keeping myself and my life real positive this month. I’ve been reading The Secret and The Power and it’s totally been helping. Such simple messages, but it just really inspires me to be happy, full of gratitude and love. I had some pretty rough months last year that put me at my lowest, so it feels so good to be happy. I feel like my old self again! And yeah, things are not prefect yet, but I’m not letting it bring me down because I have the confidence that it will all work out.
