Starting the New Year off Right

Resolutions are great as long as follow through is the next step. I live by this superstition; whatever is set in motion on the first will be a driving force throughout the year. I make my New Year’s Day special instead of the eve.

I gave my honey the honor of choosing our meal. He picked homemade pizza because it’s his favorite. I made a four-way, four-person thick crust pan pizza. Four people mean four different favorite toppings. While I prepped, I made extra dough for bread too. That’s starting the year off with a promise of warm bread throughout the year and nothing is more cheering to come home to than fresh bread after an adventure.

Being an avid adventurer my other task was choosing my itinerary for the upcoming year. While I worked on that, my honey who prefers to tinker and design read science magazines for new project ideas. We alternated reading interesting blurbs to each other and connected for inspiration.

Our celebration of the New Year was less about resolutions of what we’d like to accomplish and more about brainstorming possibilities. After all nothing can be accomplished without first having a spark and then following through with a plan.

Here’s to fresh starts and enjoying pizza the way you want it and sometimes tasting something new.

THE END
