Merry Christmas

the good life

with the year coming to an end i find myself looking back on it and i can't help but smile because this year has undoubtedly 

been my best year yet.

for the first time i'll be celebrating new years eve in the city
it breaks tradition as i've never been away from my family on the first of a new year,
but i won't lie -- i am excited to ring in 2012 with beloved friends and a boyfriend whom i'm just as thankful for.

i constantly find myself reminded of how good i've got it
at the end of a day, no matter how stressful and seemingly unnecessary, i'm thankful for the reminders and the ability to filter noise, because it's supposed to be easy, letting go of the little things.

a friend posted this quote and to be honest i think it perfectly summarizes 2011 for me:

"don't rush: what is really important always finds a way of revealing itself."

cheers to the important things worth waiting for,
an amazing 2011, and an even better 2012
what's not to love
