Happy New Year to you and yours. I trust you all survived NYE well and today you have a deep joy for what 2022 will be.
I did not stay up. Dexter and I are tied to our nightly bedtime. I did however wake up at 10:30 when the first round of fireworks went off. I then woke up an hour later when the second round went off. Who says you can’t have fireworks when the temperature is -38C? I am sure we enjoyed the short show, not so much the guys setting them off. I had just fallen asleep when my phone pinged. It was DIL wishing daughter and I a happy new year. This morning I am still receiving many wishes.
It is sunny the past few days. So, so nice to see the sun. I will take the frigid temperatures over the clouds any day. I may venture out later. I need to take gifts left behind and dishes back to their owners. I also have joined an international walking group. I tried it last year but didn’t make the 1000 mile mark. I was chicken to walk in all the ice last year had. I have a plan now. When I do not feel safe outside, I will walk the hallways of my apartment building.
As with almost everyone, I am thinking about this coming year. I have a lot of plans/partial plans in my head. I need to think about what I want to get out of this year. So far I have in my mind the walking above, along with lots of outside walking - weather permitting. I need to up my spiritual journey. I need more time in the bible, in prayer and in bible study. I also hope to get back to church this year. Most of the last couple of years church has been online but we miss so much of the actual service. Right now we are at 25 people. I have chosen to let others go as I am able to take part online. I am praying for churches to be opened up more this year. I will continue working through all my stitching/sewing etc stash. I am blessed as I have lots of items to choose from. I believe this year, we should be able to have more family bbq’s and picnics. Maybe even some good hiking and beach days.
Financially, I need to carry on being frugal. I do want to retire in 2023.
Blessings
Jean
