Am I the only person who gets melancholy when an old year passes and a new one begins?
I’m not sure why, but it’s never seemed to me to be a reason to party.
Perhaps there is unfinished business…
maybe I mourn the unredeemed, expired coupons…
or the letters not written, goals not achieved.
Or, more likely, opportunities missed.
2013 was a mixed bag…
a sweet new baby entered our family… but my sweet mother left this world.
this blog was born… but I left the world of a steady income.
I began keeping my grand baby… but realized I’m not as young as I once was!
2013 was bittersweet…
but I am determined to greet this new year with JOY…
There is so much to be thankful for…
Hubs and I just celebrated 36 years of wedded contentment.
Both our children are happily married to people who are as awesome as they are!
We are living on a retirement income… but we are not destitute.
I still have my daddy, and he’s in good health.
Come to think of it, maybe I DO have reason to party!!
I resolve to…
Count my blessings…
Love all I can…
Make all I can… Save all I can… Give all I can.
All to the glory of God.
