Listen y’all. This is what I’m doing. I’m starting my new year focused on being kind to myself. And that means I’m home, in yoga pants and flannel shirt. On New Year’s Eve. With no plans. Other than eating alcohol infused cupcakes from my favorite cupcakery.
I’m going to attempt to quiet the negative and unkind self talk that I should have ‘better’ plans with champagne and a sparkly dress. Or a fancy dinner. Or even leaving the house to go out to a movie with the family. Because frankly, we all just want to stay out of the cold.
So as I stroll through social media as the evening wears on, looking at photos from friends at parties and fancy dinners, I will remind myself that I’m doing exactly what I WANT to do on NYE. I’m home. With my family. With no specific plans.
Other than cupcakes. And maybe, if I’m feeling really crazy, I’ll throw in a bowl of popcorn. And there is NO SHAME in that.
And so here’s to you my friends! May your year begin with love and kindness. And may it begin with YOU.
Cheers! *Raises plastic water bottle for a toast*
