Happy New Year!

I haven’t posted in a while…  I honestly was frozen with a bit of holiday overwhelm!  Also, I really wanted to focus on enjoying the season with my family.  Since I’m still a relatively new blogger, I haven’t found my rhythm yet, and so, each entry I write gets posted immediately.  I don’t schedule my posts…. yet.  I’m hoping I will get there in 2019!  I have lots of ideas of things to write about, I just need to get organized!

Our Christmas was good and busy.  I’d love to say we all stayed healthy, but I, unfortunately, got hit with a stomach bug as did my middle son, and my husband had a bout of conjunctivitis in his eye.  Fun times!  Thankfully that all happened between Christmas and New Year’s.  So we are starting 2019 on a good foot!

Many years ago, for one particular new year,  I made tons of goals.  I had about 8 different categories, with many goals in each category.  Over-zealous maybe!?!  I was good for about a week, but that’s about all I could sustain.

I don’t usually set New Year’s goals anymore, or if I do they are very mild goals, and nothing extreme.  I DO think goal-setting is a great practice and important.  I just don’t do it at New Years.

HOWEVER, I do have one goal or THEME for myself this year, and that is that I would know and understand God’s love for me in a greater way.  And that my family would too! Obviously, not super measurable, but I’m ok with that.

I hope your year is off to a great start!   We don’t NEED a new year for new beginnings BUT a new year is just one of those times that automatically warrants it.  Blessings to you in 2019!
