Following a very active and busy 2009, Taylor Swift has started this year by taking a break. The singer-songwriter is sharing on her website blog what she's doing with her downtime. She notes, quote, "I have walked on snow-covered grass and discovered new coffee shops and laughed hysterically with friends about things that probably weren't technically funny. I've written songs on napkins and sat at a giant table with my whole family on my mother's birthday, all of us in one place for the first time in too long." She says she's also been able to, quote, "take what has happened to me and process it to my full capability, and celebrate it the way it deserved to be celebrated." Swift adds that she's, quote, "floated around with nothing on my schedule other than just appreciating what my life has somehow turned into." Swift also extends her gratitude, and admits she's thankful "beyond what I know how to say."Swift will be back in action before the month is up. She's a top contender with nominations in eight categories heading into the upcoming GRAMMY Awards. Swift is also slated to perform at the event. Watch the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards Sunday, January 31st at 8:00 p.m. on CBS TV.
