shiny and new

the first post of 2011. isn't this supposed to be some epic momentous occasion? a new year, a new decade, a new me?

I'm not really in the mood for grandiose declarations of how this new year will be bigger and better and brighter. right now I'm just feeling kindof blah. tired from cleaning the past 3 days. my sleep schedule is off. and my whole body is sore.

and now that I go back and read what I just typed, I'm laughing. my house is clean, and my kitchen is spotless. something it hasn't been in 3 months. and I'm sore... because I ran a 5k yesterday. something I haven't done in over a year. HUGE accomplishments. two days into this year. no wonder I'm tired.

well. maybe it is a momentous occasion, and maybe I am a new me.
