10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1 Happy New Year!

Last night, our family went to another family’s house for a small New Year’s Eve party. We ate, talked, played games, and watched the televised ball dropping in Times Square.

This morning, we slept late, and then hubby and I tackled our annual New Year’s Day project–disassembling the Christmas tree and packing decorations away for another year.

2009 brings new enthusiasm, new possibilities. Many people make resolutions, but before January ends, their resolutions have been long forgotten. Instead of making resolutions, I’m working out solutions for things I want to change in my life. I’ve mapped out goals for this year and broke them down into smaller, more achievable goals that can be met on a monthly basis. When I meet my goals, I will treat myself to something fun.
