A New Year and New Possibilities

For the most part I don't make New Year's resolutions anymore - having found that I rarely manage to keep them for long. What I do try and do is re-commit to doing the things I should be doing and generally am doing - just better. Some people can charge forward quickly and be successful quickly, then go on to more things. Some of us run at a slower speed, but this is ok too, it's less about the speed than the destination, and enjoying the journey.

I signed up to Ravelry.com, a web site for knitters and crocheters. It's still in beta, but you can sign up to be added as they are adding several hundred people a day to the site. It's a place to organize, keep track of, share and get ideas from other knitters and crocheters. So far I like it a lot.

I've been thinking of my Dad a lot lately as his estate gets closed out and his things get given away or sold. I miss him and Mom, but my fondest memories are from years ago and I'll have those always.

This year I will give thanks every day.
I will smile more often - and every day.
I'll remember that I'm a daughter of God,
And He loves me no matter what.
