New Year!
There are several goals I have for myself for this new year. I don't think I have time to go in to each one right now, but I'll start out and see how far I get!
1) This one is a redo from last year because I only made it to about March. I'd like to cook at least one new recipe each week. I love cooking and there are just so many things that I'd like to explore in that area. I think this will be a fun way to challenge myself and find new favorites!
2) Also a redo- I have lots of jewelry. Hardly any of it is expensive, but it is cute and fun, and I hardly ever wear it. So I'd like to wear a piece of jewelry at least 3 times a week. If I'm not going to wear it, there really isn't any point in having it.
3) I need to get back into better shape. I have a gym right here at the apartment complex that I have used a few times, but I need to force myself to get back in to that habit. The goal: 3 times per week. Not necessarily ONLY at the workout room, but some form of good physical exercise. I'll probably end up running or playing at the park a lot with my son because even though he thinks it is fun to go to the workout room and pedal the bike, I can't imagine he'll want to be a regular!
4) I would like to do some form of volunteer work. I have been feeling called to go to work at a nursing home. I don't know what all kinds of things a volunteer would do at a nursing home, but I think I'd like to get involved. So I placed a call last week to one near my home and left a message inquiring about their programs. I hope that they have some way they can use me! That is something that has been on my heart for a really long time, so I'm hoping that I can do that soon.
Ok-that is it for now! Gotta run! Happy New Year!!!

Volunteering at a nursing home......WONDERFUL!! My daughter, as a teen ager, volunteered for a summer. She got them fresh water, just went in to visit with them, polished their nails, helped with crafts, wrote letters and thank you notes for them, helped them get dressed, tied their shoes, helped them with crafts, LISTENED to them, helped them get to the lunch room........You'll know what helps when you get there. I can think of NO OTHER VOLUNTEER WORK WHERE IT WOULD BE MORE APPRECIATED!!! God Bless You. And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Good resolutions! I am still working on my weight and #2 is to declutter this house. I have thought about volunteering again but will have to check out where. Probably not at the high school anymore as too many kids have no respect for their teachers when they address them, let alone a volunteer!
