First Day of the First Month of the FIrst Year of A new Decade!

Things I love about New Years Day:
  1. A new start - a clean page, a blank slate, a new chapter.
  2. Anticipation - What will the year bring? What will I be thinking in 2011?
  3. Calendars - I love starting new calendars with their fresh pictures and clean pages. I like to flip forward through some future months and think about what I have to look forward to.
  4. Goals - I don't do resolutions but I do like to set a few realistic goals. This year I plan to have a relaxing vacation with Lloyd and Ginger, buy a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, read through the Bible end to end, learn to cook some new, creative dishes, not gain more than 2 pounds, take a class, go to NYC in the spring, spend some quality time at the beach with the bees, discover my portion in the Body of Christ, show appreciation more, clean up my home office, paint the glider and retro chairs, get more sleep, host a brunch, and pray like never before.
  5. Hopes - I hope that I, along with my friends and family all have years of good health and steady income and that we all remember how much we love each other.
  6. Knowing that it's okay to be a little lazy in the winter as we settle in and ride out the cold months.
  7. Reflection - I like looking back on the year we just left, browsing through the photos, remembering the good times, knowing that God has worked out everything for the good.
  8. Starting my TBR list for 2010 (A list of 12 primary and 12 alternate books of which 12 are to be read over next 12 months).
  9. Okay, this is shallow - new TV. Project Runway starts in 2 weeks!
  10. Hearing what others are thinking, planning, and doing as we start the new year.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night

Largo Women's Bible Study Dec 6 Gathering

Largo Women's Bible Study Dec. 6 Gathering This time of year so many are looking for gifts. Some are home made, some are expensive, some are great bargains. But we also celebrate the birth of Jesus and the greatest gift of all. And on Wed. Dec. 6 we will discuss the gift of forgiveness. And we'll party a bit and laugh and talk and network around the Word of God. How to find us: Women's Bible Study and Fellowship at Boulevard Apartments Largo (Seminole Blvd just north of Ulmerton). Address is 2098 Seminole Boulevard. Here's how to get in: As you drive in, look for a small yellow pole on the left (about 2 car lengths before the actual gates) and use the keypad to dial #307. That will call us and we will use our phone to acknowledge so you can get in. After the gates you will see one lower building directly ahead of you. That is the clubhouse. When you are facing the clubhouse, if you look to the left you will see our building (#3). There is an elevator. We are...
