It's time for the New Year!
I am amazed at how fast this year has flown by. I really am.
2008 was kind of a tough year for us. We had lots of great things happen and lots of truly hard things happen. Through it all, we did the best we could, learned what we could and came through it all a little wiser and a lot stronger. We are truly blessed-
I am not big on writing New Year Resolutions, but this year I feel like it...so here are a few thoughts I have-
What amazing gifts the new year brings-
An entire year's worth of wonderful opportunities, given to us one sunrise at a time.
Many of the moments ahead will be marvelously disguised as ordinary days, but each one has the chance to make something extraordinary out of them.
Each new day is a blank page in the diary of our lives. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. Have pages on understanding and tales of overcoming hardships.
Fill your story with enthusiasm, adventure, learning & laughter!
Make each chapter reflect time doing these things:
Follow your dreams. Work Hard. Be Kind. Do what you can to make the door open on a day that is filled with inspiration in some special way.
REMEMBER: Goodness will be rewarded. Smiles will pay you back. Have Fun. Find Strength. Be Truthful. Have Faith.
Don't focus on anything you lack. Realize that people are the treasures in life, and happiness is the REAL WEALTH.
Have a diary that describes how you're doing your best, and... the rest will take care of itself.
When I ring in the New year this eve, I am going to remember all of the people that mean so much to me. I am going to remember my much loved and missed Grandparents whom are watching over me from Heaven above. I am not going to let the procrastinators of this world bring me down or discourage me about our "economic times".
I am going to say my thank you's more often and always be grateful for what I have. I am going to hug my husband and children and dad really tight....and I will toast all of you that are miles away but always, always in my heart.
May God bless each and every one of you in this new year-
Much Love,
Laura Lynn

Oh, dear Pecos!!!!
Thank you for your kind words on my comments for the New Year.
I think that one can NEVER be thoughtful,kind, loving, and compassionate enough in this world.
The idea is to make a difference in the lifes of those around you in some way no matter how significant...big or small. YOU have most definately have made a humonguous difference in my life more than any other person i have ever met. I will always be eternally grateful to you for the light that your wonderful personality has shone on my life.
So, as the new year gets underway, I look forward to basking in you warm light often and making many more memories! you and your family make my heart warm and bring tears of love and joy to my eyes. i love you all!!! "love your neighbor as yourself" hope i have that quote correctly....cuz that is how i love you all. Bless you and your family in 2009
much much much much love...
your Momma b.
