Good Mood

 
I have been in a pretty good mood lately. Which is a strange thing for me this time of year. Need I remind my faithful blog readers how much I dislike with a capital HATE winter???

Well this Winter has been SO mild, and it almost makes me want to sing and skip every time I look out the window! I checked the weather almanac...and last year on January 4th in Vernal the overnight low was -34 degrees....seriously, ridiculously cold! Today it is a balmy 40 degrees outside, and I couldn't be happier!

What is also making me happy was the surprise vacation we VERY spur of the moment planned. We are going here:

Riu Vallarta-Puerta Vallarta Mexico
Did I mention we are leaving in less than 2 days? Did I mention that it is all inclusive-room, food, entertainment. Did I mention that my kind brother Kris proved to me that he had a heart and used close to 200,000 of his sky miles to pay for our airfare-therefore making it possible for us to go? Well all of the above are true...and I am so excited to go make memories with my little family!!!

I think that reading this article by our dear prophet has led me to take a pivotal and positive turn in my life.:
 
I have mentioned that 2010 was probably the worst year of my life...2011 was much better...but I am determined to make 2012 AWESOME! I told G.J. that there are 3 things that make this year special. #1- It is Leap Year! I love Leap Year. #2-The Summer Olympics! Need I say more!? And #3-We just might get a new president of the United States...which sounds all too exciting.

So, I hope that you will all take time to read the article if you haven't already. I have thought of a lot of specific resolutions that I would like to make...but more importantly I hope that I have th ABC's with me....Attitude, Believe, and Courage in any decision to change for the better. I know I can do it!

oooohhh you lucky lucky girl!! Your whole family is going?? How fun!!! Please please enjoy the beach for me. And I completely agree, this winter I haven't been near as grouchy. Although, my husband has, no snow = no snowmobiling = one unhappy man. :)

Have fun!!
