Peace.....

After this last crazy year, I'm hoping this will truly be a new beginning .....a time for some peace and tranquility.  Personally, I'm tired of all the political wranglings and worrying about falling off the cliff.  It's a crazy world out there but I can't seem to do much about it and I'm tired of trying. I say that until I start thinking about my little ones and the world they're growing up in and again, I feel the need to voice my opinions.  Someone has to fight for them.

I still grieve for those families that lost little ones and bigger ones in the Connecticut shootings.  The saddest thing this weekend was seeing on the news the line of people waiting to get into a gun show.  Can we just stop for awhile and see that the happiest places to live in the world are those countries that have strict gun laws.  I went to a Walmart yesterday to shop (sorry, Judy) and walked past the gun counter.  There was a line waiting (busiest place in the store) and they all were wearing black.  I left my cart sitting and left the store and I won't go back to a Walmart......ever!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the new year.  Lots of ideas and plans spinning about in my brain.  I'm going to continue working hard at Leola's and give more thought to my house and garden.  These two things make such a difference in my life and fill lots of idle hours.  I've always been a "hands-on" kind of person and for my own sanity, I need that.

 

This will be as close as I come to a new year's resolution.  Hope all of you have a wonderful, peaceful new year.
