Best Gift: Having everyone home safe & sound. The sound of laughter among them all.
Worst gift: there wasn't a single one!
We played games and of course the Xbox got a work out among the male teens in the house;) But a great trivia game that my daughter gave her brother was great fun. Called "Smart Ass" it is found a B &N and "game" type stores. "Catch Phrase" and a game where you continue in a circle to roll doubles in dice and vy for a chance to open a present with oven mitts on was a hoot! Whoever gets it open, wins the gift-no teeth allowed!
I can hear snowblowers in the neighborhood this morning and the sun is shining brilliantly outside. Those voices that got squelched for a few days in the din of my family's laughter are beckoning to me to come back and tell their stories. Rome, London and a medieval castle all await my return.
It's been a year of blessings both professionally and personally , and I look forward to the year ahead with its promise of potential and possibility. I'm setting my goals and aside from the usual--pay attention to my health, go more green, be more thankful, be more gracious--I am setting other, more practical goals as well.
Do you follow the tradition of goal-setting for the New Year? If so, what types of goals have you thought of for yourself?
One of mine is to simplify my life --disburse and organize and experience some things that I've not tried before.
How about you?
Amanda
