Settling Into 2014

Well, it is January 8th and I guess we are now settling into 2014. I don't write 2014 very often - especially as I don't write many cheques these days - mainly debit! So the number doesn't  F - L - O - W from within! I'm caught now in the chasm between 2013 and 2014. I have to stop and think what the year is versus automatic 2013. I guess it takes a year for you to get in sync with it. 

Already this year, my sister in law has had some health issues. We did a day of unified family prayer for her on Tuesday. We were praying for a miracle. Last night, her daughter phoned and said she had a good day and her mind and speech were clearer. She is not healed but feeling much better. She still has a lot of work ahead of her to be able to go home to her own place. We pray for that to happen. 

So, RESOLUTIONS. Did you make any? I have to say - NO. Why waste the time. I will try to do what I always try to do in January and that is cut back a bit in eating, watch the calorie intake, TRY to get out and do some exercise and portion control. These are challenges that I meet every day, every week, every month, all year long! That's enough 'great expectation' for me!

I was out today for a little while. It started to snow. Go figure! Thankfully it did not last long but, eight days into January and already having more snow in total than we got all of last winter...well, the challenge for us will be to get through the next four months!! Where do we shovel it all to!!!! This spring, we may have a backyard swimming pool!
