a new year - a new path


Last year I took a picture everyday of something I was grateful for or some happy moment... thinking I would document what my life was like. Well, that happened, but a better thing happened...something I hadn't really expected.

It changed my thinking. It changed how I saw things in my life.

I found myself 'looking' more for the good and wonderful things. I started feeling more grateful for those things and realizing to a greater extent how my Heavenly Father pours buckets of blessings down on me. And even though it was the hardest year of my life, I saw that it was so full of wonderful moments and miracles and tender mercies that I was able to get through the hard parts.

So I've been trying to decide what I want to do for this year. I will still be taking lots of pictures, but I also want to write more, explore my ideas and thoughts more. I've been following several blogs and I noticed there are some great blogs for young moms but not a lot for women in my category. The 'the kids are all gone and now what' stage. So I want to explore some of that.

So there you have it....I'm heading down a new path. One that's going to lead to an extraordinary year. Gotta start running.

I look forward to reading your thoughts! While I have a long time before I reach your stage in life, I have a lot I can learn from you for getting to that point.
