Perfection belongs to him. You will be happy to know I still have to make the bed at 6:30 p.m. Spent the afternoon on the phone with a friend rather than tidying up the house. Happy New Year, daughter dear!Facebook Friends Commentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519266725536094726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576172857842332819.post-66249574354112172212014-01-02T00:38:00.225-05:002014-01-02T00:38:00.225-05:00Nice to see you back.

Not grocery lists or shopping lists, rather "things I should do" lists or bucket lists, like take a trip somewhere, or to see a specific museum, or even baking. It's about doing these things for the enjoyment of doing them, spending time really appreciating them, and making memories while doing it. Too many people get caught up in doing these types of things just so they can check another item off of some "status" list. It's like a lackluster, obligatory task rather than memories in the making. The holiday season has become so much more important as I get older, the parents get older and the kids become teenagers and adults. So what if the garland didn't get hung on the railing this year, or if the bows aren't just right. If each and every minute spent together with loved ones was enjoyable and memorable, that's all that matters.<br /><br />Wishing you a Happy New Year. And while I don't have any specific resolutions dedicated to a New Years resolution either, getting healthy is a priority for me!<br /><br />xoFacebook Friends Commentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519266725536094726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576172857842332819.post-91448471270379259412014-01-02T00:30:27.563-05:002014-01-02T00:30:27.563-05:00Thanks for sharing.
