New Beginnings (#1)

I know not everyone shares this feeling, but I truly look forward to the beginning of another year. I love having that fresh empty calendar. And I love the hard-to-miss opportunity to look over the last year and decide what you want to change. I know that it doesn't always come to fruition and New Year's resolutions can be somewhat of a joke, but I do try to honestly make a few postitive changes annually.

And so here we are. My last post was in October. When we were living in Nashville. But no more looking back--onward, ho! Welcome to one of this year's resolutions--30 daily posts. If blogging hasn't turned back into a love of mine after 30 consecutive posts, then I will know at least I tried. I'm hoping it will be enough of a habit by then that I will continue at least several times a week. We'll see.

I'm including a snapshot from the first annual Griffith Nativity that was a smashing success this season thanks to the splendid efforts of my dear sister-in-law Kate. No, she didn't forget to make a costume for Harrison, he just pulled some attitude at the last minute and refused to be Joseph. He opted for rogue shepard instead. Everything else went off fantastically and I'm sure we'll be doing in everytime we're all blessed enough to be together for the holidays.

So happy new year (kind of) everyone--and happy birthday, Mom!
