For the Sake of Auld Lang Syne

Last post for the year 2011.  I've been doing a bit of housecleaning today and listening to DIE TOTEN HOSEN's very upbeat version of the song Auld Lang Syne.  I like easing myself into the new year, no sense waiting until the last minute.

This afternoon is my calendar day. I've gathered my calendars, including my phone (hopefully the little alarm will keep me on track this year!), and now I'm transferring birthday reminders, dentist appointments, and other wild and crazy activities I've already signed up for, and I'm making plans for 2012.

The human heart may plan a course, but it is Yahweh who makes the steps secure.
Proverbs 16.9 (NJB)

If I can remember to treat each day as a gift and just enjoy and graciously accept them as they come, maybe I can make my part of the world a little better.  I plan to try new nail polishes, moisturize more often, and a thousand other things.  That's what's so great about a new year!  It's a starting point to begin again, to try new things, to remind ourselves to just live.

Also, I plan to finish projects, start new ones, and read about your adventures - which gives me a chance to see our world in hundreds of different ways.  Thanks for making life so interesting and giving me great ideas - I'll try to remember to give each of you credit when I use your creativity.  (Feel free to call me on it if I fail to do this.)  I'm looking forward to learning what's at the top of your "To Do List" for 2012.

This time of year gives us all a chance to recall the past year - good, bad and wonderful - for the sake of auld lang syne?  Or maybe it's a chance to give thanks for all we have come through and all we have been given.

I hope you and yours have a wonderful and blessed 2012.  Thanks for joining me on my adventures, see you next year!
