Let's Make it a Good One

I woke up this morning with a million good intentions running through my mind. Then I took this photo. The Halloween mug, the Alpine trees, and the 2020 calendar provide a stark contrast to those well-meaning intentions and more accurately depicts my entry into the New Year ... a little of this, a little of that, one foot here, and one foot there.

But it's all good! A journey begins with a single step. No one said it had to be a leap. 

I do have some new things going on. This morning my sister and I are starting a 12-week yoga burn challenge, and I my mat and resistance bands are ready and waiting (I'll get to them as soon as I finish my cappuccino in the Halloween mug). 

This evening I begin training to become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). And between the yoga and CASA training I have a lot of things to get done (I'm eyeing those Alpine trees). 

Finally, as we venture into the New Year, some with giant leaps and bounds while others (eh hem) a little more quietly, I leave you with this: Saturday night after Mass I stopped to speak to a woman who usually sits in front of us. When I wished her a Happy New Year she replied, "Happy New Year. Let's make it a good one."

Amen.  There's a LOT we can do to make it a good one. 

Happy New Year! Let's make it a good one!
