Happy New Year

I love New Years Day! It reminds me of the first day of school, without all the anxiety. I love new starts and it seems funny that my morning reading was in Lamentations 3. I was reminded that God's mercies are new every morning. Thank Him and give Him praise as I exhaust my daily supply by noon.

Do you make New Years resolutions? Or are you in the camp that thinks that resolutions are worthless? I love to make them and sometimes I even get close to keeping them. Most of the time they are ridiculous like homecooked meals for my family, lose 25 lbs., stop nagging Wayne. You get the idea.

Here are my very simple 2008 New Years resolutions:

1. Try to have more compassion for people and stop being judgemental of others. As Wayne loves to tell me, " You aren't paying their bills, so what do you care?" Amen honey!

2. Perfect my Creme Brulee. That is really an impressive desert and if I could get the crystalized sugar down pat I can wow my next dinner guest.

3. Spend more Saturdays doing fun stuff instead of cleaning, and more Sunday afternooons taking naps.

4. Continue my quest to stop drinking diet soda.

5. Spend more time laughing and loving on my sweet hubs!

6. Sit and let these two sweet girls have more of my undivided attention!
