It would be unrealistic for me to promise to blog every day of the year. I applaud those of you that do. But I know my life and I know myself, so I will be content to try to make each day of 2014 meaningful in some way, but not necessarily by blogging. One of the things I loved most about my teaching career was fresh starts. Each year of teaching was a blank page as well. A chance to do things differently or better.
Fresh starts. That’s the promise of a new year. There are always ways to improve our lives, our relationships, our careers, our health, and how we spend our time. This year, just like every other year, I am ready for a fresh start.
Wishing a Happy New Year to all of my loyal blogging friends. Thank you for your interest, your questions, and your comments.

I bookmarked your blog in September 2012. You were having lunch with the butterflies. As I’m reading this, I’m into the 4th blank page of the rest of this year. It’s going to zoom past before I can say new year’s resolution 2015. Time flies; I know what that means now. On a more positive note, happy new year Ruth.

A loyal follower! Thanks. I wish I were having lunch with the butterflies again. Instead we are recording record low temperatures. wind chill….. negative 15. I miss my patio lunches.

I’m always satisfied if I can create a post once a week. Making meaning each day is the best goal of all!

once a week sounds like a reasonable goal, for me too! This past month was so busy, I think I onlly posted twice.
