Oh my goodness!

Here we are, it is Jan 7th already and guess what? I do not have my Christmas tree down yet nor are my decorations put away! What a way to start a New Year huh! LOL.......I have promised to have it down this weekend however.

I am not making resolutions this year, at least not in the normal sense of the word. Someone suggested instead of making resolutions choose a word or words to live by for 2009. So I have chosen to do that. My chosen words are ENJOY, COMPLETE, GRATITUDE and LOVE.

With the economy and other stuff going on in the world, 2009 is probably going to be a challenge for a lot of us. But I am going to find something to ENJOY each and every day and try my hardest to COMPLETE every project that I start. And have GRATITUDE for all the wonderful things in my life instead of being sad for the things that I do not have or that have left my life.

And to be LOVING and understanding and helpful in any way I can to those who are already in my life and to anyone new who enters my life. These are my hopes and dreams for the New Year! All of things that will be a challenge for me but I am am ready to take a deep breath and plant my feet and fight the fight to battle the depression that I suffer from. In other words I want 2009 to be a brighter happier year despite the trial and tribulations that come my way. The things I have chosen are within my control........at least I hope they are...Oh my!

And I do have a bit of good news, there will be an addition to our family at the end of July.

My Granddaughter Ashley is expecting a baby, yep..that makes me a great Grandma! OMG!!!

I can hardly wait to hold the little bundle in my arms!

On the creative front I am working on 4 dolls that I was asked to make for a local organization. They will be complete soon and I will share pictures.

I want to wish everyone a great day and hope your 2009 is a good one!

Love,

Nita
