Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe New Year, despite the snow:)

Shawn and I had a nice, relaxing New Years Eve tradition at home-full of games and little smokies.

I just wanted to make it known that I have beat Shawn before at a game...just to clarify.

The snow just kept falling...

Lydia didn't seem too excited about the New Year-she was already sending us glares telling us she wanted to go to bed.

 And now the Christmas tree is down and put away, and I go back to work tomorrow after a wonderful break.

 

Although Shawn and Lydia are opting out of New Years Resolutions this year, I always like to start off the year with a few thoughts/reflections about 2012 and the year to come...

 

In 2012, I was grateful for...

 

Life

 

Health

 

Love

 

Growth

 

 

In 2013, I hope for...

 

-Continued health, including some weight-loss and lifestyle changes on my part

-Continuing to grow and become a more compassionate, loving and understanding person

-Continuing to maintain, nurture and grow in the roles and relationships that I have in my life-including those of a wife, daughter, teacher, friend, sister, and...soon...aunt:)

 

Happy New Year everyone-hope you return to your jobs, homes and routines safely and peacefully.
