2012 is not only a new year, it is a different sort of year for me so I thought why not start a blog!
I am known to most of my family members and friends as someone that very often bites off more than I can chew!! I always manage to get done what I bite off but it sometimes involves a lot of late nights with little sleep, occasionally a few tears and often a lot of stress for myself and a lot of times my husband, Mike!!
This year is different because I find myself in new territory . . . . a year with not as many commitments, a year with very little baking (I used to bake and decorate a lot - on top of a full time legal assistant job at a law firm), a new year as an empty nester with my husband and a new year that will make Mike and I grandparents!
I feel as though I'm starting off the year right and have high hopes for 2012! I've been doing all the "normal" new year's resolutions . . . . trying to watch what I eat, exercising, trying to get more organized and stay more organized . . .so in trying to stay on track with these other resolutions, why not start writing a blog!!
I have brief experience in keeping a blog - I kept one last year while my stepson was gone to Navy bootcamp. I wanted for him to have something to read once he got out of bootcamp to catch up on what he had missed while he was gone. So now, why not give it a try, this time for me!
I start off this new year wondering what next . . .what direction should I head with all this free time I will now have.
Home life and Married life are good - could not be better! I love my husband with all my heart - we live in a nice home with our three dogs!
Work is good - I've been at my job going on 22 years. I work at a place where co-workers are not just co-workers, they are family who truly care about the others in the office.
Kids are grown and gone and they are good! Stepson and Daughter-in-Law are too far away from us but in this age of amazing technology we can have them in our living room once a week with us (or more) on Skype if we want to see them! Stepdaughter and Son-in-Law to be are good and are expecting in June - our first grandchild.
Our families are good! My husband, Mike, has a huge family, mine isn't small but isn't huge like his. They are all good! We are very fortunate and very thankful that most of our family is in good health and those that are not at this time are improving!
I'm a member of a car club which is good! A club that I have thrown myself into for the past three years as Treasurer. This year I am Vice President which means a lot less responsibility resulting in a lot of my new found free time.
We have many, many friends in different groups and they too are all good!
So back to my questions what next and why not????
What next????? There are so many options, so many interests - real estate, photography, home decorating, gardening, landscape design, website design . . . . .
Why not?? Well, why not!!!
