Another New Year Already!

Yes, it's true 2009 is here. That means a new round of goals. Some of last years goals were achieved, some are a work still in progress. I guess my goals for 2009 are more abstract this year. As you've read from my 2008 blogs ( the few I've done), my life is very hectic. I guess I've found myself so busy with the dailies of life and my LA family's needs that I lost myself some where in there. 

 So that said, here are my goals for 2009.

1. Simplify, simplify, simplify.  Stop knocking myself out to be perfect, try doing things the easy way & just be happy!

2. I want to get to know my new granddaughter Naomi. Naomi has such awesome parents, so I'm thrilled that I get to do the fun stuff that comes with being a grandmother.

3. Visit WA state where I can work on goal #2. I miss my WA family so much! I loved WA. when I visited lasted year.  The life there is more in tune with who God made me to be. 

4. In the meantime, try to bloom where I'm planted right now. By this I mean watching sunsets from a pier on the bay, making time to walk on the beach, playing Wii more, conquering Miss T's Raymon Rabbid Nintendo game, spending time doing things I want & enjoy doing.  

5. Do more needlework. It soothes my soul.(Naomi's baby blanket helped keep me from insanity on many a day!) I could have included this in #4 but I've done this for 30 years no matter where I've lived and want to get back into it. Maybe  come up with my own designs. 

6. Just say NO! If my heart isn't in it don't do it.

7.  Laugh more and be spontaneous sometimes!  It's sad when you "always" have to plan fun!

(And last but not least)

8. Be happy with myself. After all, I am a child of the Most High God and He doesn't make junk!!
