New Years Traditions

As we begin a new year, I begin to reflect on family and social traditions that we enjoy here at the cottage. We have several recipes that we have come to enjoy every New Years Eve and New Years Day, those recipes that have been passed on through the generations. We gather up on New Years Day and watch the parades and big games, just a fun casual day. We will take a look at goals we may want to set for the New Year and reflect back on the year just passed.

Personal Journal

I have kept a personal journal most of my teenage and adult life and at the first of the year I always like to look back on all the lessons that I have learned from the past year, hoping and praying not to repeat the mistakes that were made and to take all the positive lessons with me into the new year.

A Few Of The Personal Goals For The New Year

Take More Walks Down To The Lake

Finish The Plaid Quilt

Start A New Painting On The Blank Canvas 
That Is  Sitting On The Easel

I always want to remember when I am setting goals, that a goal is something to strive to achieve just one step at a time.
