Words. Falling out of a book. Very similar to my new year thoughts pouring out of my ears. Words and thoughts are so powerful.Thoughts become words. Scattered thoughts become scattered words, then action then character then chaos.

The new year brings so many weird and ridiculous memories. January, to me, is such a tempremental month. You feel so inspired and set all these great goals for yourself. You feel like you have a fresh start and look forward to the new time you have been given to prove yourself worthy of this life.
Yet, it also makes you feel stupidly depressed. Most people start the year with raging hangovers and possibly a lot of guilt.The long year ahead makes you feel like the trials and tribulations will never end. You often dwell on the past too...or the future. Both do not actually exist though. All that exists is NOW, this very moment we live in. Why waste time thinking about things that cannot be changed?While you are doing that you are missing out on the moments that just slipped by..Time is running out and more quickly than most of us choose to believe.

I finally got down to reading The Kite Runner...another procrastination fulfilled. It is as touching and humbling as many have told me.My first book of the year is turning out to be quite a page turner too(although I am still not too sure why)...Empress Orchid by Anchee Min...

I think asparagus, olive, tomato and chilli pasta is on the cards for dinner tonight...yum bubblegum!

over and out.
