Happy New Year and Welcome to 2015

Good Morning,

How is the start of 2015 going for you???

It seems that I have such high hopes going into a New Year.  

In reality it is just another day when you let things like

illness, long work days, or family obligations get the better of you.

I am trying to stay my happier self but I didn't expect some of these to

get to me so early in the year.  I am not one to make resolutions.  

Most of the declarations of change that  I make come

 readily and steadily throughout the year.  I DO let things go at the end of the year.

That should be something to work on, but I have 11 months to get there.

My crafting time halted through December.  But I can be thankful that I 

work in a creative place that will put that back on the schedule.

 I stayed home a lot more tending with an ageing mother which set aside 

my nature walks with my friends. But I am thankful for 

this time with my Mom. Some people don't get that opportunity.

It seem that the What EVER strain of flu or cold virus is out here

my family got it at some point through out November and

 December and then round two in January for a few of us.  But I am thankful for the 

family all being home together during the school break to help out one another .  

So as we head into 2015, I will raise my hopes for an improved year, look forward 

to the great things that will happen, learn from the not so great things that will happen, and 

remember that God is in charge and I am in His hands through all of it.

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2015.
