Happy New Year

Well... It's 2017 now. Phew!! I am still working on my goals for this new year, I'm still recovering from the last few months. Actually I have been so focused for the last 12 months that I am just wanting to keep moving towards my goal but to coast from the momentum that I have gained for a while. Have you ever felt that way before? Like you have been moving a hundred miles a minute, working so hard towards your goal but not taking the time to smell the roses. Maybe that should be a goal. Maybe I need to learn to slow down, to enjoy the little things, to watch the clouds go by for a while.

My family knows that occasionally I get stuck on a piece of music, like I put it on repeat for at least a month. Usually it speaks to my soul in a way that it becomes all that I can think about, and I know a piece will be that piece for a while when it makes my heart stop when it starts and linger there for a while after it ends. A couple days ago I was listening to a spotify playlist that includes all of the Star Trek Soundtracks (shocking I know) when this song came on. The violin was what caught my ear first. It was haunting. I had to just listen. I included it here because it is just to wonderful not to share. It seems to fit that new year feeling of taking strength from the year before and using it for the new year ahead.
