RING IN THE NEW,

Once again it is time to take stock of our lives, reflect on the past and ponder goals for the future.We purge our homes attempting to put our house in order, January is the month for a "fresh start" a new beginning...

I love the quote: The resolution I have made, and try to keep, is this: to rise above the little things." So good!
God bless you and yours in this new year.
(Paige Elizabeth is adorable!)
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year Julie. I'll try to give a go at decluttering my house and taking stock of my spiritual side. Who knows, I may succeed one day...
Wishing you a fabulous year.
Thanks for all your sweet comments and your friendship. They are pure gifts to me.
Hugs.

Julie, I see that I have missed a few of your posts so I peeked back and enjoyed them all. That little Paige Elizabeth is so darling. Your Christmas tree is beautiful, and from my perspective it is good that you finally have snow. Is that good for you? Hope you have a wonderful New Year that is happy and healthy..Best wishes in 2016 my friend..Judy
Hi Julie, me again. I just heard from Mary that a new Civil War drama is coming on called Mercy Street, Sunday, Jan.7 at 10:00 pm. Sounds like it might be good..J
Me, #3..It is the 17 not the 7th..Duh!!!
"...to rise above the little things" is most admirable! I need to do this, daily. Dave used to tell me, "Your expectations are too high" and he's, more than likely, right. sigh.
So, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing but striving to be a little better, a little further along life's path.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Happy New Year to you and yours Julie.... Sure hope 2016 is good to you, much love and laughter. Hugs Francine.
I love your photos of that lighthouse. So beautiful Julie!
I wish you a wonderful 2016! Blessings upon blessings.
Your grand daughter is beautiful. I love how she is just so pink.
Lovely post. Happy 2016! We celebrated NYE with a family wedding!
Wonderful quotes.
Happy New Year.
The lighthouse and your words are beautiful. Cheri
I am late to this, Julie, but my wish for your 2016 is nonetheless heartfelt - may it be all that you hope it can be!
Keep warm in Maine! Have a wonderful new year and many blessings, cheri
