The New Year


Wow, it is a new year and a new decade! How did 10 years go by so fast. Remember Y2K? It certainly doesn't seem like 10 years since nothing happened with that. I had all my kids under one roof 10 years ago. Now they are not all in the same country let alone house. (I have them spread out like jam on bread.) I love the beginning of a new year. My hubby says he thinks New Years is the dumbest celebration, but I like it. I makes me feel like I have a chance to start again and make better choices than I did in the last year. Even if I had a good year, I just feel renewed come January 1st. I love cleaning out the house after all the Christmas clutter. I love shopping for deals at the stores around town. I love being in the warm house by the fire when the weather is cold. I love that my birthday rolls around at the end of the month and I once again will be spoiled by my husband and family. I always like to think that I will know more about God and He will reveal more of Himself to me. My life feels uncluttered at this point in the year. It may be a mess by the middle of the month, but for now I am loving it.Happy New Year to all who read this. May you feel the joy of a new year with me.
