As you think about New Year’s Resolutions and goals this year, take one to heart. Make 2018 the year of picking up the phone and talking to someone instead of texts and emails all the time. Be purposeful in setting time for coffee and lunch with a friend. You may not reach 100 people but at the end of the day isn’t it better to have 5 people who are close to you than 100 people that you can’t tell anyone what their first and last name is and what they enjoy doing for fun? Happy New Year 2018.

Have you ever baked Christmas cookies? It is a lot of fun right, well for those that can bake them. I know that baking desserts are more of my forte, but the cookie department is another story. I have memories of baking slice and bake and burning them lol! But the fun part is always, of course, eating them and spending that quality time with the kids and your spouse, sister, mother or friend. Make the most of your time with those you love today. Happy baking!!!

Part of the fun of celebrating Christmas is wrapping the treasures that you have found for family and friends.
This year as you wrap your gifts think about each person that you have bought a gift for and take a moment to remember a special memory about that person; write that special memory on their Christmas card as an added gift.
As you wrap gifts, remember to wrap on a table or countertop so as not to strain your back and neck wrapping on the floor.

Today as we start to put all the Christmas decorations away, I cannot help but think about the Christmas hustle and bustle that went on a few weeks prior. The house looked beautiful with twinkling lights, presents under the tree, family and friends celebrating Christmas with us sitting at the dining room table enjoying dinner and Christmas stories from our past.
Now we go back to normal. We are getting ready to put away the tree, the ornaments, the things that make Christmas special in our home. The beautiful centerpieces that made our dining room table look elegant. Now all that is left on our table is Christmas cards, store receipts, Christmas Card address book and thoughts of the work upcoming for the year.
As I picked up the Christmas cards and reread some along with the beautiful newsletters attached, I realized how blessed I was. These cards represent people who thought about my family and me during the busy Christmas season. I started to pray for each and every person that sent a card that as the New Year 2017 started, that they would receive health and blessings in the coming year.
As I put things away, I thanked God for the receipts that I had because it signified that I had a job to purchase a gift for someone. I thanked God for my family’s health as I saw an unexpected bill from our son’s pediatrician and pharmacy that set us back Christmas week several hundred dollars. Some may ask, how is that a blessing? It is a blessing because at least I had insurance that covered some of it and also because God gave us this miracle who at that moment had a stomach virus and strep throat. My son was a premature baby and they are more susceptible to illnesses due to their under developed lungs and other health issues. It could have been much worse, but because of His grace it was not as severe. I also thanked God because I have the opportunity to work and do the things that I love while also at the same time helping others in need of support through The Gift of Life charity.
When I first looked at the mess, that is what I looked at it as, a big mess and chore to put it all away. But today as we put away all the things that represent Christmas decorations in our home together as a family, I realize I am truly blessed. I am reminded daily that Christmas is the season of miracles and remembering that beyond Santa Claus, we have a Savior that was born on Christmas day.
Happy New Year!

As things begin to wind down, take a moment to grab the kids and the dog and walk around the neighborhood to see the Christmas lights instead of driving. This will get you out of the house, allow you to see neighbors that you may have never met and had some fresh air to breathe and establish family memories.
