The Last Day of the Year

Well . . . here we are, the last day of 2004. What an eventful year this has been - full of triumphs, full of tragedy, and just plain old living each day the best we can. It won't be any different in 2005. But perhaps, we can all learn from our experience and maybe do it a bit differently when we're faced with the same situation.

Now, it's the tradition to make resolutions. I have a really poor track record of keeping my resolutions. grumpy, whom I met last night at the DC Bloggers get-together hosted by LaShawn Barber, pointed out that I should be updating this blog more often. Yes sir . . . that will be my resolution that I will try my best to keep. I will also have more knitting and spinning projects that I will start and complete.

Another resolution I'll be making is to continue to be a loving, and supportive, wife to my Hubby, Bruce. I'm still in love with him just the same as when I first met him. That's a resolution I won't be breaking. Come to think of it . . . this is one of my more successful resolution.

I also resolve to spend more time with my family. One can never get enough time with family members that you love. And even when there are family members that irritate you . . . well, that's part of the parcel and you make do with whatever parcels that you get - it's how you deal with it that can make a better person out of you.

And of course, to spend more time with friends. One of my very good friends from church is planning to move to an area that will be within 15 minutes driving distance, and I'm really looking forward to spending more time with her and getting to know my little buddy Alex. And there are other friends in my life that I should spend more time with as well.

May 2005 be a good year for y'all.
