I’m not as sad to see 2016 go as so many folks are. For me personally, 2016 was one of the good years: My granddaughter was born, we moved into our new home, and peace and healing came to my family. But I am glad for the fresh start of a new year. It’s a good opportunity to revisit some abandoned disciplines, regain some self-control in taking care of myself, and evaluate how I’m spending my time.

In this new year, I’m also planning to read more from my own shelves, improve my knitting skills, and write a little more. Sounds like the best laid plans of mice and men, right? No, I won’t meet all my goals, but I’m a firm believer that I have better odds of moving forward if I have  something ahead of me to move towards.

Thank you for sticking around for the random posts that appear here from time to time! I pray you have a peaceful 2017.

Happy New Year!
