Do you do New Year’s Resolutions?

I don’t think I’m going to make any New Year’s resolutions this year. I am going to try to be a better mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter, granddaughter, employee, and overall person, be better organized, stop procrastinating and get more done, and learn as much as I can… but these are continuous goals. After all, aren’t each of us a work in progress? While I may not be setting any specific goals, I’d like to make time for spiritual growth and simply try to make sure I keep things in good perspective, prioritize, keep what’s really important at the forefront. … Continue reading →

Celebrating New Year’s Eve

How have your New Year’s Eve celebrations changed over the years? When we marry or have children or other major events occur in our lives, we tend to change the way we do things. I remember times where I got dressed to the nines to go out and paint the town. Sometimes, I think it would be fun to do so again, but I’ve also grown to enjoy the night at home with the kids drinking sparkling grape juice, dancing to their latest music, playing games, and watching various celebrations on TV from around the world.

New Year’s Day: Do You Feel Any Different?

Do you feel any different now that it’s officially 2007? I cannot believe it. Looking back, I remember teasing my oldest daughter that she would be graduating from high school in 2008. I told her how we used to come up with slogans when I was a kid for the year we’d graduate and said hers would be an easy year to give a slogan, “2008 is great!” That was about 11 years ago, you know, way back in the 1990’s. Now, she will be graduating next year and I just don’t know where the time went! It seems like … Continue reading →
