New year..... New goal

So here it is January.  Wow!  Where does time go?  I can't believe we just flew through Christmas!  Time to make new goals for myself and not the standard " I want to lose weight" kind.  I am hoping that will be accomplished by the end of the year.  My goal is to take things one day at a time and just make smart choices when there is one to be made.  This will hopefully help in every area of my life.  By taking things one day at a time,,I hope this will be easier to stick to.

I want to learn and explore new things and just have a brighter outlook on life!

Merry Christmas!

Many times, especially in December, I find myself thinking about the real meaning behind Christmas.  commercialism surrounding the season can get us down due to events that may be happening in life.  It is when this happens that we have a choice to make.  Do we dwell on what we don't have or be thankful for what we do?
There is a saying "Jesus is the reason for the season"  I believe that it is because of him that we are all here. I don't have followers yet so this entry is basically a reminder to myself to be glad for the things I have.  I have a healthy family that I love more than life and my husband has a job.  These two things are more than some people have so I promise to find a way to show graditude this holiday season.
