ach new day is the startof a fantastic journey
in growing, learning, and becoming.
Each new day is another chance to find joy,
to bring joy, and to share joy.
Each new day is one more time
that we can help each other,
give to the world, find oneness with God,
and be the person that we
always dreamed we could be.
Joseph J. Mazzella
There is never a day that goes by that I don’t learn something new. We really never get to old to learn new tricks. The saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is really not true. We may have a hard time adjusting, but we do learn.
I have adopted a new years resolution that I read in Joyce’s Journal that I really liked and think I may be able to follow through with :
to be a better friend and relative. Treat those, as you would like to be treated....make each day count...spread joy and positive thoughts, where you can.
I thought this was such a good resolution to make. Hopefully she won’t mind that I took for my own too!
DD and I are going to lunch after church today and then do a little shopping. The lunch is going to be paid for by a gift certificate from DS#5 and his wife that I got for Christmas and I have a gift certificate from DD and her hubby to do the shopping with too!
As always I’ll be saying a little prayer for you all today
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May You Have...
Enough trials to keep you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human
Enough hope to keep you happy
Enough failure to keep you humble
Enough success to keep you eager
Enough friends to give you comfort
Enough wealth to meet your needs
Enough enthusiasm to look forward
Enough faith to banish depression
Enough determination to make each day
better than yesterday.

Secretly, that is one of my new years thoughts too. I won't call mine a resolution. But I have thought that this year it is time to regroup with family and spend some much needed time together. We have grieved over the past year individually. In 5 days it will be a year. We turned a corner at the the holidays - for me it was New Years. Even at Sweet E's party I could feel some relief and less tension. We are all looking forward to more time together. So I agree, yours and Joyce's resolution works for me too. LOL.
