We're off to a great start this year, and I'm very thankful!  It's such a wonderful time of year with a fresh start, and where old bad habits don't seem to matter as much as they used to.

        Our new year is bringing new habits.....habits I've wanted to instill for a long, long time, but often fail miserably at doing.  This year will be different, I always say!  WHY then, do I think this year really will be different?

        I think this year will be different because of me. My expectations of ME are not as unrealistic as they have been every other year. And my expectations of my children, and of our family are not unrealistic either. I'm using our strengths and talents, gifts from the Lord to make this year the best ever!

       We are off to a great start! And because each day is given to the Lord in prayer before we begin, He's able to lead us to what HE expects, and things are going SO much better than they ever have before! Praise God! :o)
