Daydreaming

It is incredible the amount that my mind has been wandering lately. I try to do something and find myself realizing that so much time has passed and I've just been sitting and daydreaming. But, I'm on vacation and I keep telling myself that it is perfectly okay to keep doing that. I don't have any schedule or anything that really needs to get done (and even while I'm cleaning - which does actually need to get done- I can just let my thoughts go). It's making me happy, so why not, right?

Campus is so pretty right now. Since we're on break, everything has been left untouched. Even when someone leaves footprints in the snow, the wind blows and they disappear. It is so quiet and really peaceful. I've been trying to keep it quiet by leaving off the TV and sitting in the silence...which is definitely contributing to the daydreaming.

So now I'm curled up on my couch with a Starbucks latte and The Fray station playing on Pandora. I couldn't be happier. I'm so glad that December has finally slowed down and I am ending the year on a happy note. I feel like I have started to figure things out (although sometimes I think I'm more confused than ever) and I am finally just letting things happen. There's no rush for me to have everything sorted out and I can't control everything. Last year my resolution was full of rules. This year, I don't want anything like that. I had planned on making my resolution be that I would cook for myself more, rather than going out, but I don't think I want to do that. I don't want a resolution that is so easy to define and break. I just want to tell myself to be happy. That's the only rule.
