living life

The day of New Year's eve for me is a time for me to set new goals. I always reflect back on the year to see where I have been both professionally and personally. This was a year of opportunity and personal pitfalls. However, if I never would have taken the opportunity, I may not have realized the areas of growth I have achieved. I will share that it seems easier for me to take opportunity in my professional area then in the personal. I have learned this past year that many things I thought I had overcome still seems to stick out there like a neon sign. I am excited to enter this New Year with not a lot of goals but with a few goals that hit the bulls eye. I have good intentions to do things yet do not always follow them to the finish. The year of 2007 I believe will be filled with open doors yet I need to bravely walk over the treshhold, not just seeing a door open and him-haw around to should I or could I. This will be an huge challenge for me, cause many times things around me get me off focus. I have decided to limit my list to 5 goals and trusting that these are my plans but Jesus will use the eraser to make the list even more accurate. Isn't is fabulous to start a New Year knowing that our Lord and Saviour loves and cares enough for each one of us to make sure the goal list is an accurate one. Happy New Year to all and may you walk through the "open doors" this year and not just notice an open door.

I have viewed the christmas list of one of daughters who wanted a " Roomba", being a mom who is techincally challenged, inquizative and always able to bring humor to my children with my hi-tech abilites, I bravely asked what is a " roomba" . Of course, Melissa chuckles and says Mom it is a robot that sweeps your floor. We laughed and I thought what a fabulous idea and an awesome gift. Today was the first time I saw a roomba in action on a TV commerical. I am telling you the little robot sweeper looked wonderful, but the thing that caught my eye was the robot " SCUBA". This little wonder doesn't sweep your floors but scrubs your floors. I was so excited I wanted to throw my mop to the wind. Now, what a cool idea! Living in the Arizona dust bowl the SCUBA is like a necessity not a luxury. I commend the inventors of this cool gadget and I think I am putting that on my christmas list. I am really starting to like this hi- tech stuff and could appreciate it if I had one. :o)

Life has a way of giving us wonderful suprises if we just take the time to look. Sunday was a work day, low census allowed me to go home early. That was fabulous but the best was being able to go to the mall with Jessica for a bit and get into some needed holiday spirit. Thanks Jessica and Ryan too for watching Noah, but then I had to awesome priviledge to see the movie Happy Feet with the Larson clan. It was so much fun to see the movie with kids, and to hear their little chatter. I don't think Angelina even shifted in her seat, Tyler and Noah were just so cute and fun listening and watching there eyes focused on the screen seeing the penguins dance. The movies was cute with a message about environmental hazzards of littering and garbage floating in our waters and streams. The sound track to the movie will be good, maybe cause i recognized the songs. Thanks I had a wonderful time.
