All that aside, we enjoyed beautiful fellowship with our friemily's [made up a new word! that's friends who are like family] - potluck after potluck, new adventures in Waipi'o, Pu'u honua o honaunau, and our annual New Years celebration at the Stewarts, which by the way, we did on Friday night instead of Saturday and I quite like because I'm bringing an attitude of always being one-step-day-move-ahead-of-the-game into 2012. :) Um, yeah...we'll see how long that lasts. ;)
So, as the last of the holiday treats are consumed, new resolutions are made, decorations are tidy back in storage, and life resumes back to [what we know as] 'normal', I like to remind myself: true happiness does not come from external influences [people, places, & things]. It comes from being content and at peace with ones lot in life, whatever that may be.
Warmest greetings from beautiful, sunny, warm Waimea - wishes for a productive, growing, inspiring 2012.
With all my love, Mrs. C.
