Charging Ahead

Action may not always bring happiness;
but there is no happiness without action.
~~Benjamin Disraeli

I love a start of a new year. When the calendar rolls over to another year, it reminds me of the joy and privilege of starting fresh, almost like a do-over, to renew commitments at anytime of my life. Of course, a new year makes me more aware of this great truth. I never make a lot of resolutions but do spend time reflecting and trying to learn from the previous twelve months.

As we go into the new year, there are many uncertainties. But one thing is certain. My hope and sense is that 2009 is going to be a great year, despite economic downfall! Hubby is back from California to stay. Many good things are happening around here and I truly believe it is going to be a breakthrough year while all the specifics are worked out. I've continued to grow and learn so much since the big move over three years ago. I am looking forward to charging ahead into the next 11.5months. Schedules seem to get overcrowded so quickly. The days of the calendar seem to flip by at ever increasing speed. But, I am starting this new year with a commitment--not necessarily a resolution--to keep a proper and healthy balance in my schedule between parental responsibilities, family time, study needs, and children activities. I hope you are as excited and hopeful for this new calendar year as I am. Blessings to you and your family for 2009.
