I started 2006 with just one New Year's Resolution...to catch up with my scrapbooking.  I'm normally not one to make resolutions, but something had to be done!

I had 10 years to catch up on ~ don't worry all my pictures have been kept in chronological order.  :-)  My goal was to do one year each month until I was caught up.

A friend shared her method of Power Scrapbooking that has been of great benefit...it's so organized and systematic.  Thank you, Sheryl!

  In January (2003) and February (1999) I met that goal.  March through May saw no activity.  In June I started back up and as of last week I completed 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1/2 of 2000.  Then I was done...try as I might I could not create another page.  Hee hee!!  I've put all my scrapbooking items away for a while. 

There's still plenty of time before 2006 is over...I could meet my goal yet.  But I've found most valuable lessons in allowing myself to stop... 

1.  Instead of looking at what I haven't accomplished, I'm focusing on what I've completed.  It's OK to be kind to myself.

2.  When a task is no longer laid upon your heart...stop.  Lord, author our days...

3.  Take time to refocus and refresh from any task or goal.  Take time to reevaluate.
