Jan.1, 2011 A New Year has begun.

Today, a new year has started. To be honest, I don't feel the motivation for starting a new year with a great aspiration. Right now, I am kind of dragging my exhausted body through the day and indulging myself with nothing to do. This holiday, we have done a lot, and we have done nothing. We have done a lot of works to our house such as adding backsplashes to the kitchen, tiling the bathroom wall, putting up a shelf and adding a countertop in the laundry room..... They are not big projects, but mixed with a nasty cold and sinus infection as well as hosting 4 times over the holiday and a crawling baby who's kind of clinging, it took longer and was harder than what we expected. As the holiday comes to the end, we are physically worn out. I feel like we didn't do a lot because we didn't have proper rest as we should have reflecting of what happened in the past year.

Still, as I type it away how I don't feel the excitement of a new year starting as much as I wish it would be, my dear husband is in the garage building a stand for the countertop for the laundry room, my older two boys are watching the Avatar: The Last Air Bender Marathon being aired on Nick Jr. channel, and my baby is whining for me.

I do feel and want to make it a great year in many areas, but my thought right now is not organized. So, I pray in God's mercy that He will get me ready for this new year asap, especially with school and work starting in two days. Going back to normal is both exciting and dreadful. Maybe because of this mixed feeling that I am feeling weird like this on the new year's day this year.

Although the new year has started as dull as it can be, I am hopeful without doubt that God will do something wonderful as He always does. I am ready to learn and journey with Him in this coming year, too. Happy New Year!
