Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!  I do not believe in resolutions but I do believe in goals.  Here are a few of my goals for 2016, not in any particular order.

1.  Break the sugar addiction -- starting today.  So far so good but I have only been up for an hour and half and I have to make cookies.  Yikes!

2.  Increase my step count -- I walk for exercise and I average about 5000 steps a day -- half of what I should -- so that is a goal. 

3.  Become Fort Worth's answer to Marie Kondo -- after trying to facilitate moving my mother in law to assisted living, I am adament about getting my own clutter under control -- her "stuff" is causing me great stress.

4.  Read more.

5.  Blog more.

6.  Visit Facebook less often.  Who knew that scrolling through pages and pages of peoples opinions on things could be so addictive and such a waste of time.  Apologies to my facebook friends but seriously --

7.  Sew more.  I love Irish Chain quilts and I would really like to try my hand at hand piecing one.  In blues and turquoises.

8.  Only join one reading challenge

9.  Cook at home more -- poor hubby.

10.  Take more photos -- which reminds me -- I need to buy a new camera like today!

So, folks, that is my year in a nutshell.  I will start dismantling "Christmas" today even though it is still Christmastide and I still have one more gathering but I am anxious to get on with the new year and see if I accomplish the goals I have set forward.  We will see.

Have A Wonderful New Year and see you back here much, much more often.

And a Happy 2016. My resolve is (as ever) to be even more awesome this year than last! But I think 2016 will involve joy and delight. Hope yours will.

And the card arrived a couple of days ago - thank you!

Thank you, Mary! I hope the year is as you predict but so far it seems to be a bit exhausting as I have started my decluttering already. I figure this way -- no time like the present and.....it keeps my mind off the sugar so it is a win-win situation! I am sure you are going to have a joyful and delightful year as you are a very joyful person and I am so lucky to know you because your outlook on things is infectious.

 Ok, so we visited our cardiologist yesterday to get the lay of the land for the Hubs.  Seems there is an issue with one of the grafts from ...
