Hello, Sunshine!

Well, we're officially on day two of 2012. Like I said, I have a good feeling about this year! The sun has greeted me each morning thus far, which always brightens my mood. If I was an animal, I'd certainly be a cat. You'd find me chasing the sun and napping in it whenever possible. I find total contentment just sitting on a window sill with the rays of light warming my skin. In fact, that's often where you'll find me when I'm on a conference call, eating lunch or even just paging through a magazine. I even move from room to room within the house, trying to keep up with the changing angles of the sun.

But I also ate hoppin' john last night to lock in my good fortune and prosperity. And my friend was kind enough to give me an enormous bag of citrus fruit from her yard.

Oh how I love Winter's abundance of varying shades of yellow and orange fruits that pull the branches of trees almost to the ground, just waiting to be plucked.

It's hard to beat a sweet tangerine. It's like a burst of sunshine in each segment. It's hard not to smile when eating one.

So clearly 2012 is off to a good start. I hope you feel the same!
