Happy New Year
It’s the start of another year and always the perfect time to reflect, dream, plan.
When we were little girls, I read a story about another family who wrote out their bad habits and burned them and then wrote out their New Years resolutions. I don’t recall whether that was the first year Mom stayed up with us to see the New Year in or whether we just added that little tidbit to the staying up tradition. Being a list oriented person already back then, I was enthralled with the concept.
If only it were that easy to get rid of bad habits and reach new goals.
These days I feel far less inclined to make a list of goals in favor of thoughtful evaluation and dreaming. Not that goals are bad in any way, but I know my tendency to get over-achieving list happy and then feel like a failure when I can’t possibly accomplish it. So this year I’m taking a moment to think about the future.
Like anyone, we have things we are excited about and things that feel heavy. But this year, we have one thing our entire family is excited about!
Oh summer, come quickly!
Oh, Michelle, I’m all teary with happiness! Praise His wonderful Name!
Thanks, Jo! It’s truly such a beautiful, healing gift!
Congratulations! I’m due in July as well, and it’s always exciting to see what God had in store 🙂
Oh Michelle, I’m so happy for you!!
I wish there was some way I could stretch across all the miles and give you a BIG hug.
