The whirlwind of the holiday season is officially behind us.  A time for a little nostalgia perhaps?  I like to reflect back on all the festivities, family and friends entertained and visited, memories made.  Such a wonderful and full time of year.  Then, in slips quiet January.  Personally, (I have mentioned this before) I don’t like the pressure of “New Years” resolutions.  Instead, I like to think of things I may want to accomplish sometime along the way, perhaps sign up for that cooking class I’ve often thought about.  If it happens, great! If not, no worries, I’ll attempt it another time.  I am a firm believer that everything happens in it’s appropriate time.  We just have to be open to the challenges and opportunities that come our way.  This January marks the one year mark that my blog was officially web-optimized and it has been a learning and growing process all along the way.  It was a challenge and one I welcomed.  I hope you are enjoying it.  Each new year opens new opportunity for personal growth.  Make this your year and make every day great!  Happy New Year to you all.
