We ushered in the new year quietly. Joe went home early and Art and I sat on the couch watched the Broncos game...Tebow where are you? Had leftovers, and didn't move until bedtime.
I skyped Erik throughout game. He is on the other side of the world and we enjoyed the game together. I like it.
I've never been one to put lots of emphasis on the letting go of the old year and starting over with the new. I guess I believe that its better to live fully enough that one year will melt into another without huge changes. Those life changes should be happening all year long. Though I am working on a list of things I would like to do in 2012.
I found this great book of LISTS in my book travels. I'm always looking for books for my online shop The Vintage Bookman It's called Lists to live by...compiled by a group of three
I love lists. I make them all the time. They are hung in obvious spots in the house, I have them in my journal, I find them in my purse. Nothing worse than getting to the grocery store without my list.
My lists make me feel in control. They bring order to what might otherwise seem overwhelming.
My lists help me to remember what needs doing, or buying, or taken, or read, or prayed about and the list goes on and on. My mind isn't what it used to be, and there is nothing better than marking something off my list I feel so accomplished :)
My lists are long or short whatever is meaningful or necessary for the situation at hand.
Right now I'm working on a list of 1000 things I'm thankful for....I started in Sept. and I've reached 439...
I started this project more as a challenge to myself, but doing this has been a life changing process. It has made me aware of the many many blessings in my life, and this list has been meaningful enough that I might carry on past 1000.
I'm thinking it might be fun to share some of my lists over this year.
I'm working on my 2012 right now....stay tuned....
