Happy New Year!!!

I know I am a few days late, but none the less....

Happy New Year!!!!!

Things are in full swing with changes constantly hitting us daily.  Change is good right?! 

I am so very thankful for all the changes and lessons we had last year.  And now we are ready for more!

Changes that come daily in life are certainly not always easy, but they make us strong and that is when we grow.  Like every other January this time marks when I get my stuff in order!  A time for me to organize, to time I desire to see clear, fresh lines and thinking about how I want this year to be different. 

When life is not always cupcakes and daisies, when the coffee pot totally overflows(seriously!!!), when your desires are not always met, when people disappoint you, when your camera dies right as you are going to take a picture of the first EVER bluebird you saw or when your children crack nuts all over the floor and don't bother to pick them up and you step on a shell, yep, that is when you (me) must stop and think about what really matters.

So that is my goal, resolution, hopeful---whatever you want to call it---for 2014.

To "Focus on What Matters".

Will I do it every single day?  Probably not.  But I have hope to!!!  And I will turn it over to my Heavenly Father to lead me daily.  It really comes down to attitude and making your day/life what you want it to be.  You know kinda like with children you pick your battles.  Life is the same way.  You have the choice daily as to how you will see things, react to certain situations, what you will allow to make you mad (and or happy) and so on and so forth. 

I have hopes this year of focusing on what matters.

Do you have goals, resolutions or hopefuls for this New Year?
