New Year's Eve

It's New Year's Eve and I am counting my blessings today. We are blessed with love and semi-good health. We have three beautiful daughters ~ each unique but somewhat alike. We have two sons-in-law that we appreciate. Our grandchildren are smart and kind. Buck has a job. We have food and clothes and a house. We are able to worship without fear. What more could we ask for?

I heard somewhere that resolutions should not be saved for New Year's Day because if you need to change. . . . you probably needed to change last week ~ so why specify?

People need a DATE to start a new venture. New Year's Day is just another day but because it is the first day of a new year we see it as a new beginning with a whole calendar of possibilities. So today or tomorrow when you start that new diet, new class, new job. . . . remember to take it one day at a time. . . . want more cliches?

Here we go. . . .

Every day is a new beginning (DUH!) It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters but the size of the fight in the dog (Sometimes it is the size) If you aren't the lead dog...the view never changes (True enough) "Whatever"(What does that mean anyway????) Every journey begins with the first step (Really?!?) A man never got shot doing dishes (Now that's a keeper) Don't make me come back there! (A groundless threat on long drives) This too shall pass (What if it doesn't?) Love is a battlefield (I prefer a peace march) If mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy?(Not true ~ many a mama is not happy but is better at hiding it than other members of the fam)
