but this year, all i want is one thing:
to wake up each morning and catch the sunrise.
to not let its beauty spray across the sky while i'm in the shower, or drying my hair. to not pull the yellow quilt over my eyes when the rays start peeking through the blinds in the bedroom. to bring my coffee outside with me and sit on the porch swing in the dark. just sit in the morning blackness. until the golden and pink and coral start crawling up from behind the trees.
i just want to catch it. and i think with that, i'll catch all those other wishes and resolutions. all those other desires of my heart just beyond my reach. i'll pull them in with the sunshine. and at night, send them back up into Heaven, to the great painter Himself, who will take them, mix them, and create with them another glorious morning.
to see my dreams in the dawn. and to chase them until nightfall. that is my wish for 2012.

you're inspiring me to do the same (: i love your wish for 2012.
I love that resolution, so simple but still great!
that's a wonderful goal! :)
"to sent them back up into Heaven, to the great painter Himself." This is so beautiful. I have to ask my mother to sit in front of the screen and read this post later today.
ps: I think I am stealing one of your last year resolutions, writing thankful for notes at the end of the day sounds like such a brilliant idea.
Beautiful wish!
what a great resolution..
i accomplish this most days (workdays) driving in & i must say, seeing the sun come up behind the downtown skyline is gorgeous.
now if i can only convince myself to do it on the weekends too...
ps. pablo in his nye hat makes me smile. alot.
This sounds like a wonderful idea, Courtney! I love the sunrise and try to catch it when I can!
Hope your New Year has started off well!

What a unique and awesome goal! One that is often so overlooked!
what a beautiful goal. I like it! =)
Happy New Year!
What a beautiful post and wish! Your writing just gets better and better my sweet friend. I am just so glad that I found you. You have given me an idea - I had two lovely diaries for Christmas, so I am now going to use one of them to write my 'thankful thoughts for each day' ! Thank you for the idea, and what a super photo of you and little Pablo. Hugs.
That's the best resolution I've ever head someone make. Love it.
What a lovely goal, I hope you post photos of a few here.
this is a really beautiful resolution. :)
I wish I could see the sunrise and not think Oh geez just let me sleep for another hour. Maybe 2012 will be the year I fully appreciate my mornings.
Happy new year sweetie! Your puppy is absolutely adorable!

beautifully written! I think I will join you in not missing a sunrise. As long as I'm up and moving every morning, and healthy, the possibilities are endless as to what can be done. =)
