Happy New Year - 2014

Happy New Year & Welcome 2014.  I can’t believe that another year has quickly come and gone.  My plans to post to this blog more often last year, definitely did not happen.  I can make a hundred excuses as to why, but really it all just comes down to plan laziness and being preoccupied with these computer games.  I think part of this is because I have spent so much time over the past few years committed to college and course work, I just needed some down time, however I think I took it to the extreme. I am not really proud of myself for doing this, so I am going to truly make an effort to limit my computer time. I plan in the New Year to devote more time to more productive activities.  I enjoy crafts and stamping and since I recently purchased more supplies for my stamping / card making, I am really excited to spend more time with making cards.  Although, I really do not enjoy leisurely reading, I do want to try to spend more time reading.  Maybe, if I read more, I can learn to enjoy it more, especially since it will be of my own choosing and interests. I have a few books that are true-life stories and I am interested in reading both.  Most importantly I would like to devote more time to serving my church. 

            Although, I always love the New Year, because it feels like a new beginning and it’s refreshing. I do not really like to commit to any New’s Years resolutions, because for one I usually never keep them.  Secondly, I make too many.  I also think that you really shouldn’t have to wait for the New Year to make changes in your life.  If you are that unhappy with the way you live your life or the way that things are going in your life; it’s a good idea to make changes right away. 

            I am excited to see what 2014 brings and hope that it is filled with health and happiness.  In the past few years my family has seen it’s share of illness. It will be nice to see not one but many years ahead of health.

            Happy New Year to all my family and friends!! 

May you see a year full of health and happiness.  Remember only you have control of your happiness.
