beauty in hope for a new year

It hit me when I was on a seester date this evening, driving around looking at christmas lights (something I haven't done in years), that I should make more things like that happen in my life. And I started thinking about the new year, and how many things that I've wanted to do in this city, but just haven't made the time for. So I started a list. I'm going to keep it short. 12 things- one for each month, so that it's not too much to keep me busy, but enough to keep pushing myself. It's making me feel very hopeful.
