New Year, New Beginnings!

          
Slowly and a bit reluctantly, I've taken the last of the Christmas decorations down, which to my chagrin, is the same slow pattern I've taken regarding those elusive New Year's resolutions. It is hard to let go of what the holidays represent; Festive gatherings with family and friends, which always includes an abundance of delicious and decadent "good cheer!" I envy those people who actually begin their resolutions on Jan.1, each year and miraculously seem to stick to it! After all, on that date each year, college football is in overdrive, as we sit watching and recuperating from the celebration of the prior evening. And so, I resolved on New Year's Day, to ease into my resolutions, which always includes taking on a healthier lifestyle. Now that it is nearing the end of January, I am making progress on those resolutions, knowing that after all... The holidays and more "merry making memories" are merely months away. Theoretically at least! Alas, that is why I keep one memento from the holidays up on my wall all year long, which is a quote by Charles Dickens from, "A Christmas Carol!" I view this as a message, reminding me that life is abundantly more than good! So, count your blessings everyday and throughout all the year!
And... "God Bless Us Everyone!" 
Cheers!
