Happy New Year!

Good bye 2013...It was a good year.

  • My job brought a new adventure. 6th graders are interesting, funny, and child-like. I know. They are children. But they are so different from 8th graders who believe they are very grown-up and mature. 
  • I bought a new home...buying a house has been a different adventure. It feels like home which is nice and cozy and yet home ownership is such a huge responsibility.
  • I came to some personal realizations. Man (or in my case woman) plans...God laughs. Some of the hopes/dreams/plans don't pan out the way you expect but you get up and move forward.

Hello 2014!

  • A new year. 
  • A fresh start.
  • New opportunities.
  • New adventures.


For the past few years I've been working to document my life for a variety of reasons. I've tried blogging, scrapbooking, focus words, photos, journaling....I've discovered that no one thing works perfectly, or best. They all have their ups and downs. Some days/weeks/months I don't feel much like doing any of it. I've also noticed that I have some very regimented aspects of my life. Is it tradition? Habit? Why do I do what I do, when I do it and how I do it? Is it because that's expected? I suspect there is truth to all of these reasons. But I really got to thinking about this as I tried to define my focus word for 2014.

It's January 1 and I still don't have my 2014 word...This is not an auspicious beginning.
