Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

While I was growing up, my family moved around a lot. No, seriously a lot! I attended 4 different elementary schools, 3 different middle schools and 2 different high schools, all in different states. I really disliked leaving my friends, but the one thing that I did like was that I could start over. Past mistakes (and nicknames) would not be known at this new school. I had a clean slate and could be and do anything that I wanted.

Because of this, I have always liked the start of a new year. Although one can start anything, projects, careers, etc. over at any time, the official start of the new year means (in my mind, at least) that I can officially start over. Mistakes, etc. from 2007, although learning experiences, feel like they are long gone. After all, that was "last year" even though "last year" was just a week ago. I think this is why people make New Year's resolutions.

Anyway, 2007 brought with it it's share of thrilling highs and agonizing lows. The statement that truth is stranger than fiction is true. Some of the events and situations that I have lived through would be hard for an author to think of... lol

I pray that this year, the Lord finds me a more humble and teachable servant and that this year turns out better than last, and why shouldn't it, it is a fresh start. It's time to take chances, make mistakes and get messy (sorry, with 4 kids, I have some TV shows like 'The Magic Schoolbus' ingrained in my memory).

Happy New Year! What are you going to do with it?

Because Truth matters,
George

It takes a humble human to admit to "The Magic School Bus". I think you should work on it some more or at least until you can admit you were a barney fan. Barney is so awesome!!!

Love you
Love me

lol... at least I didn't recall some TV show from my childhood. I'm getting to the age where no one remembers the shows that I do... lol

Honey,
That happens in the elderly years.
But isn't that why you married a girl much younger than you...you know so you can say when I was young we watched such and such and then get to explain it to her.
You know how she enjoys hearing them old stories over and over and over again.

Love You
Love Me
