In a minute I'll begin finishing up the tidying up from the holidays. I was away from home overmuch yesterday, first having lunch with an old friend who was in town visiting relatives, and then, last night, my niece was at my mom's with her son, and we'd never met him. He's two and adorable. One of my older brothers has 2 grandchildren and they're both so cute. Always a treat to see them.
Anyway, back to the cleaning. I love the way the house feels all skinny when the decorations are down. Moving the sofa, rearranging the side tables, and dusting everything thoroughly always makes me feel more perky.
And it's nice to begin a new year with a fresh look in the house. Sure, things need painting and the bathroom floor sags just a tad, but it's home. Can't beat that.
Dinner is leftover spaghetti from last night, and we'll make some yeast rolls to go with that. Our New Year's Eve celebration isn't really any big shucks. We just do the regular routine. I enjoy turning that mental page on a new year, though. This year of 2008 has been stressful and wearing. I won't think too far into 2009, but will take each day as it comes.
Off to do my thing. Enjoy your day. And try my advice for now: God will make a way when there seems to be no way. My motto today. :)
