A fresh new look

There's been a few changes here at my little piece of the web.  Obviously the layout and design are different.  I found these courtesy of my niece's blog.  She has a great background so I followed her over to LeeLou blogs and found some great stuff.  I've also switched up my name from A Day in the Life to Uniquely Me.  I was just bored with it and this suits me better for now.  My blog address will remain the same so no need to worry about tracking me down, although I AM thinking about going private.  I'll let you know if I do.

The first snowfall of the year showed up last night.  It made for a Saturday that screamed to stay inside and read and be warm.  I haven't picked up a book yet, but I've stayed inside and warm.  I was cleaning my house earlier and had just finished most of it, so I sat down for just a minute on my barstool.  As I looked around my home, I was suddenly overcome with a sense of "settled."  That's the best word I can think to describe it.  Maybe some would call it a peaceful moment, but I felt settled.  I don't mean settled, as in "I've settled that this is my life and its done so I should just accept it."  But more like I've settled into myself and feel confident in my choices and where I am.  I felt peace. I felt content.  I felt proud.  I felt like I had turned over some piece of myself that I had been holding onto for some reason and that piece was holding me down.  I wish I could pinpoint what that was so I could avoid having it come back haha  I felt re-freshed and challenged, but in a good way. 

Maybe that's what brought about the change in the blog haha Not that I'm so connected to my blog that it identifies who I am or what I feel.  But I feel like the newer, updated version of myself so the other parts need updating, too!  Either way, its been a lovely day.
