I'm not usually one for New Year resolutions, however, this quote spoke to me and got me really motivated to face this new year with optimism, hope, and determination. Often, I find myself getting caught up in, and brought down by, little fails. I didn't get as much done as I thought I should -- fail! I forgot something at the foodstore -- fail! I lost my temper -- fail! And while, yes, many little fails over time can add up to big fails (i.e. I never get as much work done as I should), I am really going to try to remember that every day is a new one, and that I have a chance to move forward and make things right every.single.day. And if I can do some semblance of that, over the next 12 months, 365 (okay, 360 -- I'm already getting a late start) days, it will be okay.
I know, I know, check with me in February.
As the sweet spot ends, and the kids go back to school today, I'd also like to take the time to look back and share some of the great times that marked the last few weeks of 2014.
