Happy New Year

I found this happy sign on Pinterest and I think it says Happy New Year quite nicely...it's strange how turning over the calendar from one month/one year to the next can bring on such promise.  Each day should be happy,

 sparkly, 

do-over, 

shiny,

 a blank canvas, 

full of promise, 

hopeful

 and brand spankin' new each and every day. 

 That is what I wish for you this New Year's Eve 

with a bunch of blessings thrown in too....!!! 

A collection of some of the cups and mugs from December....this brought me a lot of joy.

And my December weeks in review....more joy!!

Tomorrow begins a new year....hard to believe but we have been given another chance to right some wrongs, try harder, say yes for the right reasons, extend a hand, smile more and frown less, and be thankful instead of resentful.  Happy New Year, friends.

Until next time.....

The Weeks That Were July, 2012

I began the year so good, as I do many things start but never finish, by creating a collage of my week. Now that the year is half gone, actually over half, I want to start again and maybe this time finish.  So...I begin again....

The Week That Was - Week 6

Almost a month and a half into the new year already...time moves at a rapid pace.  Very scary the older you become and realize how precious life's moments are.  I just spoke with a very dear friend of mine that had tragedy enter her life this past week.  Her daughter's husband, 40 years old died of a heart attack leaving her daughter with 3 children and a life without him.  So dear ones, cherish your moments, they are fleeting.
