As I lay in bed last night pondering what I will do with 2013, I thought perhaps I should review 2012. The year is a blur, right now, so I need to take some time, go through my calendar, my journal, my photos, and even my blog, and see what happened this year. It feels as if I accomplished very little, but I think my calendar alone will prove that theory wrong. Every month seems to be jam-packed with so many entries.
Since I have few decorations to take down here at the house, I will spend time reflecting on the past year. Then next week, as 2013 dawns, I will work on my Sunday School room, which is highly decked out in Christmas attire, and plan the January decorations and lessons. Maybe in looking back on the old year, I can figure out how I want to go forward in the new.
Do you have grand plans for 2013?
My wish is that 2013 will be a good year for us. And I hope to start packing my decorations away today! Happy New Year to you and your family Delaine!
Thank you, Christine. I believe it will be a very good year.
I think that is a great idea to go back to see where you want to go forward!
I will do that, too: think of what happened this year and what I’d like to do with the new year! Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re welcome, DJan. I’ve spent one day going through my calendar and journals and found I did more than I thought as well as lots of good ideas that I want to bring forward into the new year. I just needed to be reminded.
I was an inner city special education teacher until I had to leave due to my MS symptoms..How I miss it, but I try to teach kids here about wildlife in our area…Michelle
Special education is a hard field to do any where, and especially in a poor urban area. The school where I taught was the “magnet” for special education, bringing students from all over the city to our campus. I do not miss teaching at all. I miss my colleagues, and I miss doing some of the fun things with the students, but the day to day life was killing me. My life is much more joyful now.
