Happy Birthday to Me!

Today went well...
I laughed a lot, cried a little, was very productive, and felt lots of love--JUST the way it should be. :) 
I was surprised today at what I was thankful for. The people on my list aren't necessarily people that I would expect to be thankful for. But in some way, today, they went out of their way to add an ounce of magic into my birth day. :) 



So maybe I should look deeper into these people....we may have more people invested in us than we think...

Twenty and One Forever.

Twenty-One Years Old Resolution: Be the Best that I can be.
And be much more muchier.

I'm a sucker for quotes. And Dreams. And Art. But I'm a huge sucker for quotes. So naturally, Johnny Depp drew me in with this from "Alice in Wonderland"....

"You used to be much more muchier. You've lost your muchness"
- Mad Hatter to Alice. 
Basically, Mad Hatter is saying "What in the world happened to you?! You used to be so intriguing and full of life!" And so this year, I am in finding my muchness. Because I have become a little too efficient, a little too busy, a little too boring. I am finding my muchness in a year-long resolution.
I have never been a fan of new years resolutions--to cliche....I guess. But anywho, I decided to do a sort of year-long resolution for my 21st year of life. Every month I have decided to challenge myself. Some things are just things that I love; and a part of being muchier is living your life richly. And other things are healthy, interesting, or, just plain soul-healthy. 
I'm doing this because I really want to enjoy the world, the people, and beautiful things in my life. I don't want to let it keep passing me by. 

January: Make a list of 5 things I am thankful for
February: Make a new habit (27 days!): Work out for a month!
March: Take a picture of something every day & scrapbook on it.
April: Make a list of 3 impossible things every day before breakfast
May: Cook something different every week for a month
June: Write letters
July: I NEED SOMETHING FOR JULY! GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS!!!
August: Don’t eat out & no fast food
September: Don’t buy any clothes
October: Listen to a new song every day for a month
November: Volunteer!!
December: Learn a new word in the dictionary for a month

So today, on my 21st birthday, I am starting a blog. 
Bring on the muchness. 
And cheers to being Twenty and One Forever. :)
