Since they were way too heartbreaking, I’m
closing the battered door on the past three years and opening a freshly-painted
door to hope for 2014. Although I really don’t care about making resolutions at
the beginning of a new year, the turn of the calendar does give me a benchmark
by which I can start fresh. This is my year for doing so.
While we all carry a bit of tattered baggage
with us, we can celebrate our lives in myriad ways as advocated by Sarah Ban
Breathnach in her book. Breathnach’s opening essay challenges us to look for
“the splendid in the simple gift of the everyday”. It is my intention to do
just that.
Project Life is one of the ways I plan to
celebrate 2014. It’s a simple scrapbooking system that means I will not have to
spend hours recording my adventures but will be out enjoying them instead.
I chose the Seafoam edition of Project Life and its
associated peripherals which I have completely assembled so it’s ready to
document my year by simply popping in my photos and making a journal note.

Today I’ll insert pictures from our fun at last
night’s Commodore’s Ball at the yacht club. It counts as part of Day 1 since we
partied until the wee hours of this morn to welcome in 2014.

I’m keeping this documentation of my year
relatively simple—my entire toolset is gathered in a basket. The point is to keep
it easy to being mindful and grateful for the simple gifts life gives me over the year as
encouraged by Sarah Ban Breathnach.
