New Year and All . . .

in less than 16 hours it will be a New Year. I'm not really all that fond of resolutions, mostly because historically I am really good at making lists of things I know would be great for me to change about myself or my environment, and then not being able to follow through with those changes because of any number of factors, not the least of which is lack of will power.

So this year I have decided that instead of resolutions I am going to write out a few wishes for the new year:

I wish faithfulness to God's plan for our lives for myself, my husband and my children.

I wish that all of us would be more attentive to our overall health; body, mind and spirit.

I wish that care for the environment were something that everyone took more seriously.

I wish that all the people I loved could achieve at least one of their wildest dreams.

Lazy New Year's Day

So we woke up for New Year's Day Mass for the Solemnity of Mary, where it was a totally angelmeg family affair on the altar at Church (mrangelmeg was Lector, the angelbaby served and I was Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion).

After Mass we came back to a lunch of sandwiches and chips and watched a bit of the Rose Parade (the only parade I really like to watch). Then we participated in another of our angelmeg family traditions: the New Year's Day Nap!

Now we are awake and thinking about which fast food place will be the most likely candidate for our dinner business. I love our lazy holiday traditions.

Here is hoping all of you have safe and wonderful 2008's
