It's Been a Good Year

Always ups and downs like everyone but for the most part it has been a good year.  Our family tradition for New Years has been to write and say 3 things about the coming year.  One is a prediction - which could be a world event not about yourself.  One is a wish for the coming year.  And, of course, one is a resolution.  Before we sat at the kitchen table to do this, we would read what was said and written the previous year.  This activity allowed the adults as well as the children to see life in a longer term perspective than next week. 

It's 7:30 pm and Lucyna called to wish us a Happy New Year.  "Are you going to bed in an hour or two?" She laughingly asks me.  I do have my PJs on already.  She knows her parents pretty well. 

Happy New Year!
