The beginning of the New Year has always been a time for thoughtful reflection of the past year and to celebrate the New Year to come. Traditionally, we begin our year with lists for new endeavors or changes we’d like to make.
While scouring the Internet, I came across a top 10 New Year’s resolutions list (according to a Pittsburg, PA website). Along with spending more time with family & friends and regular exercise, people desire to learn something new in the upcoming year. This is one of my favorite resolutions! (I prefer to call it my New Year’s “list”.)
Each year I compile a list of “new things” I’d like to try. Last years list went something like this: Try new foods, raise 3 chickens (for fresh eggs), take dance lessons, read more…
You get the idea.

Well, I did try new foods, and lots of it… which is why this year’s list includes “exercise more” and three fuzzy chicks really did come to live with me in February. Oops! No outside chicken house means “stinky” family room, a not so happy family and a new home for my flock. I’m still able to get farm fresh eggs, though. I just get them from a farm.Dance lessons were great! (I’m pretty sure my husband agrees). Even though we had only completed the beginner lessons, the few steps of the Waltz and Rumba were enough to keep us dancing all night. Hey! That could even be considered exercise!
My goal to read more was accomplished and I will include that on my list again, but I may try reading a different genre. Maybe, I’ll try some Science Fiction or a new biography.
I recently read the Change and Cherish Historical Series by author Jane Kirkpatrick . Amazing. Her words are rich, and descriptive. I was transported on a journey with the Aurora Colony. A people that tried to live in service to God and one-another. This series highlights the life of a woman struggling to find her place in this colony. Through her struggles, she finds that God, does indeed, supply all her needs and many of her desires. I highly recommend any books by this wonderful author.
Much to my delight, Jane commented on my last blog. How wonderful to hear from such an acclaimed author and inspirational woman. Thank you Jane! I can't wait to learn more about the Aurora Community
