I hope that in the year to come you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly you’re Doing Something.
So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work, or family or life.
Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do It.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.
~ Neil Gaiman ~
HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR’S EVE EVERYONE, AND MAY 2016 BE AN AMAZING YEAR FOR ALL OF US!

I’m having a quiet family get together to celebrate the New Year. Guess the leopard thong will have to wait another year to make an entrance.

Sounds good. I’d definitely advise against the thong though!

Well, I don’t know your family but I’m thinking it might be a bit of a shock? Then again, if you go by Neil Gaiman’s quote, he’d say go for it!

If you wear it to your family’s gathering, they may consider it an inconvenience to their bodies, maybe. Thongs are iffy in mixed company.๐

I’ve always followed Thomas J Watson’s “If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.” but I think I like Gaiman’s version better. XD

Happy New Years Eve, Kim! The best mistake I ever made ended up making me meet my husband 14 years ago! Ignorance of pneumonia not being contagious worked for me. ๐ So here’s to a fabulous year of fabulous mistakes that lead us to new and exciting things!

Haha, yes! My friends and I didn’t know that my pneumonia wasn’t contagious so they made me eat lunch at a different table alone haha. It was the table my hubby always studied at and he came by and asked if he could share the table with me, even after I told him I was sick. We talked for 2 hours till our next class. ๐ Some mistakes are wonderful.
