The Calendar Turns

I am glad that I have gotten to the point in my life when I can be blissfully happy staying home on New Year's Eve!

 Early in my life, I always felt left out, because I was not out partying it up with the crowds.  Now I am totally fine with that!

With the wind chill factor in Central New York, it would not surprise me if it were not below zero tonight!  Brrrrr!

I am as snug as a bug in a home I love!

Tonight I will probably 'watch the ball drop' on television.  I may well be awake for that.  But honestly, there have been times when I could not stay awake for that "big event".

I do like to have things orderly for the New Year.  Tomorrow, I will take down the Christmas decorations and put them away.  The new calendar is now on the refrigerator.  There are a lot of things already filled in.  It's good to have things on the calendar, just not too much of it.

I don't do New Year's Resolutions,  but I always do look forward to the surprises, the accomplishments,  the growth, the opportunities that a New Year always brings.  And I often do have a couple of goals.

Goals and plans and hopes for 2014 include:

+A trip south to see uncles and lots of cousins!   (some of whom I have not seen in 50 years)
+Write a sequel to my book In Its Time
+Go on a cruise to Alaska

All three of those are well under way!

Also, I desire to see my children and grandchildren and friends often!

As this year draws to a close,  I am very grateful for a wonderful family, a great marriage, good health,  and a faith to sustain me!
