2017~ Looking Forward, and a Look Back at 2016

Well, time stands still for no one.  We are marching onward and forward. I am now into the rythem of January.  So far we have had below 0 degree weather. Snowstorms, and ice storms.  Tonight the wind is howling and a new storm is on it's way.  By tomorrow morning there will be new snow, and new temperatures.  All part of the January beauty.

I have pondered  my thoughts on 2017 and what I how to be, and become.  I don't set goals or resolutions.  I just believe in moving forward with faith and hope.  So here are just a few of my thoughts as the hours and the days and months go by.  I just want to be a better person.  I want to show kindness and respect to others and to myself.  I hope to have a happy heart most of the time.  Now I am only human, so there will be plenty of times I will not be happy.  If only we lived in a perfect world, but we don't.  So sadness and unhappiness is part of the human experience.  I just want to have "most" of my time, spent with happiness, gratitude and finding joy in the little ordinary things of life.  Sounds good to me!


I have also pondered the past 12 months and I decided I did do some good. . .hahah! I hope I made a difference. . .a good difference.  
On the blog for the last year it seems I have not been very productive.  I certainly don't get the posts out like I should.  I keep hoping I will get better at it, nonetheless, I am trying. . .so here is hoping you hear from me more often.
I certainly don't do the Creating like I once did.  I have a part time job, and that really cuts into my time for crafting, sewing, crocheting and all the other things I like to do.  Maybe a little bit of age! Ah no, that can't be.!  There just isn't enough time in the day for me to cover all of my bases.  I do my bet.

Here are a few of the things I did do. . .and I hope you had a chance to read about it here on the blog.

Blue for the January Aunt Carol Hutch.
She is beautiful no matter what color she is.

A little cross stitching. . I am so glad I got this done last year.
It is part of my decorations for this January.

And February is always a fun month of decorate.  I did another 
cross stitch for Valentine's.  It seems I did several cross stitching projects for
2016.  So glad I did!
Here we go for March.  Loving my little shelf decked out in green.

Take a look at that gorgeous Sunrise over the Oquirrah Mountains.
Bringing daylight to the Tooele Valley.
Such beauty!

Springtime in our little valley. . .Wow! It just doesn't get much prettier.
I love it.  
I am blessed to live where there are beautiful mountains. 

Well, I hope you are looking forward to 2017 with great expectations.
Each day brings it own rewards and happiness.

Please come back again, as I continue the journey of creating and enjoy
the life I have been blessed with.

  2. 2016 wasn't a good year for my family. We had many heartaches, and lots of worry and anxiety. I won't go into all the things, but I'm hopeful that 2017 will be better. I'll turn 65 in March, and lots of time, I feel it! I don't do many projects now, but am working on making a Christmas quilt. I put it away for a few days, but will get it out again, and hopefully get some organizing done in my basement decorating bins. I so need to purge! I hope you have a wonderful year.
