Another New Year
It’s 1/1/11 today. A new year, and a new beginning. I wonder what this new year has in store? Will I become a grandma? Will my youngest daughter find her soul mate? Today I feel very blessed. I have everything I need. I hope to continue to feel this way. In this time of economical difficulty, my husband and I, and each of our children have good jobs. We have nice, comfortable homes to live in, and plenty to eat. We have the love of each other, and our family. We have good health. What more could anyone ask for? We are indeed, very blessed.
This year has brought with it change, most for the better. My husband has been called to serve as bishop in our ward. It was a shock at first, but has been easier than I would have anticipated. We have felt the blessings of his service. He has had the opportunity to help numerous families in our neighborhood who are struggling. Doing so makes us all the more grateful for what we have. Our children have been very supportive of this change.
We celebrated our first Christmas without our extended family. It was difficult, but the change resulted in much less stress during the holiday season. Again, our children were strongly supportive, and we enjoyed this time together. They look forward to starting new traditions.
I have a few goals for this new year. I am going to exercise more, and try to lose 20 lbs. I am going to complete my studies of Photoshop, and start studying photography. I want to become a better and more knowledgeable photographer. My daughter is very good, having studied photography in school. I want to complete my second son’s mission scrapbooks. I have so many resources at my disposal, I need to take advantage of them and get it done.
Welcome 2011!
