Happy New Year

The wind is howling outside, the rain beating against the house in a fury...a blustery end to the first day of 2011.  I made my family french toast and bacon for breakfast, had snacks and watched the new Karate Kid in the afternoon, and made ham, mashed potatoes and corn for dinner.  It was a lazy day, spent with the people I love...sans Madi; she spent the night with a friend.  

So I sit here now, contemplating the upcoming year.  I've got my list of resolutions in my head, one of them being  this daily journal; a task I almost failed to complete in time.  Rather than the usual resolutions, I've decided to keep it to these things:

1)  Be patient

2) Be kind

3) Open my mind to new possibilities

4) Embrace change

5) Give 110% of myself in all I do

6) Love without expectation

Happy New Year...to a wonderful 2011!
