NEW HABITS JUST SHY OF A NEW YEAR

So I decided yesterday that I'm going to start going back to the gym. Before my dad passed away I was in such better shape, I could run 4 miles without blinking an eye - and let me tell you those days are so not here anymore. I can't run because of my ankle, the doctor said it would be really uncomfortable for me if I did and I risk hurting it again..I can still do tons of other things.

I stopped caring about working out after Daddy passed away, it just wasn't important to me anymore. But now that I'm finally me again, happy and trying to be healthier there is NO more reason for me to not go. I quit smoking, pretty much quit drinking except for occasionally..I've done a lot of good things for myself health wise so this is the last step.

Too bad I really hate the gym, at least when I'm not in shape..so that's the goal. Once I stop dreading going I know I'm getting somewhere lol. The girls are doing it with me which is nice, its always good to have support.

Yay for new changes & new beginnings <3

PS: I'm also trying to rid myself of something else - its slow going but I seem to be doing ok so far. 2 weeks and counting!

BOYS LIKE GIRLS WHO LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT <3

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"

'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

'Cause maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you thought that it got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you thought that it got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
Yeah, yeah

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you thought that it got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When it's all said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one


I <3 this song. It's so pretty

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process.

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

No one is perfect, how many times I have to repeat that in my head I have no idea. Sometimes I just wish my mouth would shut up, that I should just not say a word since that seems to be a better way. That whole not saying anything if you don't have anything nice to say is true.

Dear God,

Please help me get out of my own way - I can't seem to get it together.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH NAPA

I haven't been to Napa in about 10 years, and quite frankly I can't imagine why I stayed away for so long. I had forgotten how beautiful and peaceful it was up there. It's like you've entered another world where everyone is more relaxed, albeit a bit more eccentric in some cases, with laughter filling the air around you...it was a great place to visit.

We had a hotel opening on November 10th for Hotel Luca – who will be opening their doors in the 24th of this month and it was simply a great party. The hotel itself is gorgeous and looks as if you just traveled from the California wine country straight into Tuscany. As for the party, an Italian trio played softly in the background, wine flowed from bottles into everyone’s eager wine glasses, the most delicious appetizers from Piero were passed around by a charming wait staff and the twinkling lights strung up over the courtyard completed the feel of the night. The owners of the hotel could be heard laughing and mingling with the guests as they arrived, though most of them men had to be torn from the front courtyard where 2 black Ferrari’s were parked to help with the décor of the night. All in all, it was a successful night and once again proved to me that my boss is absolutely amazing and can pull off anything.

On other notes – I’m thinking about redoing my room. It’s a bit bright right now which was perfect for summer but now that fall is among us I’m just not feeling it anymore. I think something darker; a bit cozier perhaps is in order for this season. Of course now I need to decide what I want to do – which is easier said that done. I have a horrible time making up my mind when it comes to decorating because there’s just so many things’ I want to do! Hopefully I can find some inspiration to help guide my efforts through this.

Till the next time, which will be sooner than the last I hope <3
