Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my friends!!!
As we enter into the new year I have picked my word for the year....last year my word was GRATITUDE..and I am so grateful to have made it thru another year healthy and grateful for all my friends and family. I must day Iam glad 2009 is over...it was a tough year in a lot of ways. Several people dear to me lost their best friends....a couple of family members were diagnosed with cancer...a couple of family members are now ex family members...and the job market and economy in California has left some family members struggling......BUT last year also showed signs of hope and renewal....my first Grandbaby will be born in the spring...my sister got married and started a new life...new puppies...new family members to embrace...new beginnings.
Back to my word for 2010.......my new word is CHALLENGE.
This year I will challenge myself to finish everything I have started and left undone.
my projects...sewing and scrapping.If I dont finish this year I will toss it.
my health...getting that BMI number in line.
my home...symplifying and purging..
my closet...who NEEDS 3 sizes of everything?
my bad habits...I will challenge myself to stop procrastinating, and to stop biting my fingernails....
These are lofty goals I know...so to keep myself accountable I will blog my way thru them....next week I will be taking pictures of all my unfinished projects, and one by one sharing them as I complete them.
what are YOUR goals for 2010?
Happy New Year to all of you, and lets hope 2010 is a good year!!!!

I FINALLY stopped biting my nails about 10 years ago. Get a bottle of clear fingernail polish and start using it. When you find yourself biting, add another layer. When you get to 7 layers, take it off and start over.... Good luck...it worked for me...

Good post Deb! My daughter did the word for the year thing too. I am still thinking about it. I really like yours.
Good luck with all of it. I agree, 2009 was a hard year for a lot of us. Hoping this year will be very bright!! Happy New Year!
