A New Day

The first day of the year is always one of reflection and planning for me.  Today was no different.  I love new years; they're like new beginnings.  Just like each day is a new beginning in some ways.

Today we took a family picture, very casual, but nice.  I think this will be a new family tradition as long as we're together on new year's. 

I've been planning to send New Year's greetings to family and friends with a family picture.  I'm never good at getting everything done before Christmas;  I am a non-conformist in many ways (my new way of describing my rampant procrastination).

So, without lots of words that will take time to think out and write out, here it is: (drum roll, please).

Happy New Year!  From my family to yours!  I know 2014 will be a year that brings blessings and trials and lots and lots of love from our gracious God and King.
