"I see something really fresh about getting a new age at the same time as a new year. All things start again, together. . .
And that is the power of looking back in time. It comes with it enlightenment and clarity. . .
--C.Jane
Mm...healing. I suppose it can never really come too late. As part of this life that we all signed up for, it is necessary that we suffer, but only for a time. Holding on to the past only brings more sadness. And what's my favorite saying? "Men are that they may have joy."
It's kindof hard to 'master' healing. It's not something that happens in a single moment---it's long, it's hard, and it hurts. But C.Jane taught me something really awesome with this post of hers. With a new year, it's time for me to heal. Care to join us?
(Note--I didn't realize that C.Jane actually used that same phrase to end her post. Whoops. I am such a plagiarizer. Just kidding. I ain't no plagiarizer, yo.)

Nuffing
Typically, a break would be the ideal time to post.
You would think.
But really, on break, you don't want to do anything. Not even post on your blog. Because although posting takes little effort, it does take effort. Sitting on the couch all day does not take effort. And, as my science teacher would say, "All organisms want to use as little effort and as little energy as possible." It's so very true.
It's difficult to get out of that lazy-fied state and throw yourself back into school, especially when you don't even want to be there. I enjoy talking to people, I enjoy speaking French, I enjoy seminary, but I don't enjoy work. Too bad that's what school is all about.
This post isn't really going anywhere, but lemme tell you about my break. I knew you'd want to hear about it.
Numero Un: Christmas
The music, the movies, the tree, the lights, the temple, the Spirit, the Savior.
NUMBA TWO: MUSIC
We got an awesome new CD courtesy of Lynzi's friend, and are now fully enjoying the songs. Woot woot.
#3: Dancing
New Year's Eve brings many things, including STAKE DANCES. Yep. That's right. While some of you were out lighting some fireworks or freezing around bonfires, I was jamming with my friends at a stake dance.
Number 4: SNOW.
That's right! Snow! Here! In Mesa! Sure, yeah, it melted as soon as it touched the ground, but so what? I LOOOOVES THE SNOW.
So, something better will come soon. I promise.
