It is the end of winter break. We have continued to grow and change as a family. Tomorrow is the beginning of the real challenge. Can I please God with my actions? How can I give my kid' education the time it needs, pursue my writing career, and apply myself to the study of God's word? Oh yeah, and train the dogs, and lose 40 pounds.
I have made a New Year's Resolution. I resolve to be less judgemental. I resolve to let no unwholesome speech come out of my mouth. I apologize to those of you that so enjoy gossiping with me. I am taking the year off. As far as the unwholesome speech, obviously I am going to have to quit book club. I can not be wholesome and be around those heathens.
Of course I am kidding. I love those girls. I am just going to have to work on not dropping F-bombs.
I am so excited about the coming year. I always am. Some years have been unbelievably great, (1994, 1997 2002,) and some have been almost too difficult to bear, (1995, 2001, 2008) but come January I am always optimistic. I am old enough to look to the coming year with a little trepidation, but I am more excited about the prospects that are in my future.

You scared me! I couldn't stand it if you left Book Club! It just wouldn't be the same. No one will notice if you aren't swearing. I think it sounds like a great plan, everyone benefits from wholesome talk anyway. I am really looking forward to the year too, suprisingly actually considering the end-of-the-year I have had. Mostly due to my bad attitude about everything, I have to honestly admit. I am so sorry I didn't make it to your house on New Years Day but I am looking forward to seeing you...someday.
I'm with you on your to-do list!!!
I feel I have so much I need to improve on this year. I guess that's what it's all about, right?...moving forward.
I wish you much success in 2009!
love&prayers coming your way....
