Now is the New Year, which always gives me a tinge of excitement in my tummy. I crave for fresh starts. The start of a new journal- picking just the right one and it's clean, unwritten pages. The beginning of a desk calendar- disposing of the graffiti ridden one of the prior year. The fresh pack of crisp clean socks. Or the idea of the 'no soda-no carbs- diet I come up with every year, just to only make it until the end of January. But this year I have NEW New Year goals that will benefit not only me and my sanity, but my family. It is to be thoroughly and completely grateful for each and everyday I have. Sounds simple, right?
Do you gripe about traffic also? ( i say that I am lucky to have a vehicle) On Monday Morning do you roll over, hit the snooze and smile about having a job to go to? Well you should- especially nowadays. Grumble about your kids? There have been several kids that my boys know who have passed away this past year. My heart hurts for their parents as I get to hug my children everyday. So everyday I promise to take the time to say Hello to a new day and be thankful that I can do it.
'I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
