Happy New Year!

These sparkling sakes are the perfect drink to ring in the New Year. I love their light sweet taste. The bottles are really pretty too :)

I can't believe this will be my last post for 2011. It has been a great year. I'm so thankful for all that I have and is extremely happy that I'm able to share a bit of happiness through my little blog here.

As the year comes to a close, I can't help but reflect on life a little bit. There's something truly wonderful about getting older. My views on life have become clearer and my appreciation for it greater. As a result, I try to stay away from all the negativity that are out there and try not to get myself caught up in those things. Being happy is an important part of having a fulfilling life and it is totally within our control. I understand that there will be tough moments and hardships but we don't have to make them the focus of our lives. Remember that through difficulties come strength, perspective, appreciation, and growth. Whether we decide to say that things are great or that they're miserable, if we say it enough times we will start to believe it and embody it. So lets be our best selves and feel fabulous every day!

This is as serious as this blog will get lol. I just really want all of us to be able to appreciate what we have and be happy. We have just this one life and every extra day that we have on this planet is a blessing. There are many people who would give anything to live another day so don't waste our precious time and worry about getting older or some other silly things like that. Live happy and healthy and always stay inspired. See you all in 2012! ♥
