Happy New Year

A new year can bring great joy as well as moments of stress. As we welcome in the new year of 2018 wrapping up the end of year events and looking forward to events in the new year can seem overwhelming. Did 2017 seem to fly by for you?? Are you ready to welcome in the new year looking for a bit of change?? Will you strive to be more organized in the new year??

To tell you the truth, 2017 was a rather rough year for me. In addition to being a mom, grandma and blogger I work full time outside of home. This year I struggled a bit with work. My health has always been an issue but this year it even through me for a loop For some unexpected reason my body decided that it needed more. More sleep, more hydration, more salt, more everything. In 2018 I want to take better care of myself.

This past year was also a good for family. In the new year I want to spend more time with family. More family fun times, more time to have the extended family together and more time to simply relax and enjoy our family. We are blessed to see our family growing in leaps and bounds Now with 3 grand-children (a number I would love to see grow)  I have been enjoying doing the grandparents things. The bible reminds us to not idle but to be wise and use our time in the best ways.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

~Ephesians 5:15-16

I pray that you will make use of your time in the new year to do what you think is important. What goals and plans will you have for the new year??
