It's a New Beginning

I love the beginning of a new year....it's a wonderful time to think back on what made the last year so wonderful and what we can improve upon to make the coming year even better. I mean who can't use a little improvement now and then?

I'm very happy to be where I am in life, but know that I have so much more I could be doing for others (and myself). So, I'm going to keep plugging away at learning the lessons of life and becoming a better me. Less guilt, more joy, less doubt, more service, less stress, more prayer.

The focus of my life is my little family, our home, and basing everything on and around what my Heavenly Father has sent me here to do. Life is wonderful....rich, full of joy and happiness around each corner. If you just slow down and listen it never stops teaching us important lessons.

I've finally started filling in the pages of "The Good Book" that I created back in September while at the Creative Escape. It's been an eye opener to find something every day to be grateful for. I'm sure some day's I'll just be glad I got out of bed, but hey, I'm going to give it a go!

I have quite enjoyed the lazy days of Winter break. We didn't really do much or go anywhere, just spent the time enjoying each other's company. As crazy as this may sound, I'll be a bit sad to send the kids back to school. It's amazing how 2 short weeks can feel like such a long time when you're with someone you love. But I'm ready to get back into the school (and exercise) routine.

So again, I wish all of you reading a wonderful New Year that is full of wonderful Life Lessons, Joy, Love and of course a little Chocolate now and then.
