A New Beginning!

 I can’t believe another year is upon us--- a clean slate to write upon. 

I look forward to this New Year with anticipation, hope, and joy.

I really don’t make New Year’s Resolutions because I never seem

to keep them and I really dislike having to make returns!

However, I do have a couple of personal ones that 

I hope to stick with, actually they are on-going year to year.

But for the most part, I just want to find joy in the journey this 

year doing and finding those things that help me become a

happier and better person.  I want to take time to “smell

the roses” and “bloom where I’m planted”.  And, if that means 

stepping out of my comfort zone, I’m going to give it a go.  Life 

is passing by quickly and I want to make the most of it.  

Sound a little selfish?  I hope not because by doing these things I

hope to increase my awareness of those about me, spend more

time playing and enjoying my precious grandchildren, becoming more

aware  of those in need, nurturing friendships, finding and developing

talents (quilting and stitiching).  Hopefully I can set aside my fears 

and anxieties and enjoy life’s precious moments. 

Yes, I know there will be many bumps along the way, but hopefully

they can be overcome or dealt with and I will stretch and grow

and not let them detract from the good things in life.

Hope your New Year is getting off to a great start

So, with that, I'm off to enjoy this day! (Cleaning, organizing,
all that fun stuff!)
