Resolutions

Here are some of the most common resolutions made each January. If you have one of these on your list, then be sure to create a plan as well. For example, if your resolution is to workout more often, then get out your calendar and mark each Tuesday and Thursday with the type of exercise you resolve to do. Resolutions are hollow without a plan!

1. Get Organized
2. Spend more time with Family and Friends
3. Exercise More Often
4. Lose Weight
5. Quit an Addiction (drinking, smoking, etc.)
6. Enjoy Life More
7. Get Out of Debt
8. Learn a New Skill
9. Volunteer More
10. Keep House Clean

I will share my list of resolutions or goals for 2009 tomorrow.

A Christmas Card

I love Christmas very much and one of my favorite things to do is send Christmas Cards. Now my friends will tell you that I like to send cards year around but the holidays are extra special. I love seeing my girls and my "fur babies" dressed for the holidays in their yearly picture. However I can't send a card to everyone that reads my "blog" or knows me so I am sharing this special Christmas E-card with you. May God Bless You With a "White Christmas".

Please enjoy this Christmas E-Card from our family:http://samramsay.110mb.com/ChristmasEcard.html

Party Like It's.....2009?

When I was in high school one of the big songs was the Prince hit....Party Like It's 1999. Then it seemed like forever before 1999 and now here it is about to be ten years later. How come it seems like just yesterday that I was in high school. That is more than 20 years ago. When I think of all the changes in the ten years that have passed since 1999, the UPS and DOWNS of life, I realize I have lived alot in that time yet so little means anything. Right now the only thing that matters is my COMMITTMENT to be the Christian that God wants us to be. It is a struggle. For me it is hard to be under authority and rules. I am so strong willed that I want to speak my mind and do things my way. That is NOT what God intended. Through the messages I am learning in Weigh Down I realize that I need to follow authority and rules. It is hard but I CAN DO IT!!!

So this year I won't part like it 1999 but 2009 and have no regrets about the past and a wonderful outlook on 2009.

Christmas Tree

I LOVE decorating the Christmas Tree. It is so special to me to see all the ornaments the girls have made over the years and ornaments that we collected as a family. This year our tree seems to look very special to me.

My Chihuahua Bits! That is the name of a blog that I read but it is also the truth. I have an adorable chihuahua that likes no one but ME!! So he might not be so adorable to others. In fact, Chico is very protective of me. It is has taken him a year just to let our other dog near me and sometimes he doesn't even like that. He also is not very happy with my husband when he tries to be loving to me. My doggie has a place and he thinks it is with me....all the time.

It's Raining....It's Pouring

And oh I wish I was in the bed peacefully snoring. When my girls were smaller they loved nursery rhymes. We spent many hours saying short little poems, singing songs, and endlessly making up little diddys. I miss those days. Today as it looks like Noah might float in at any minute I am reminded of those times. So to my dear daughters I leave this thought:

It's Rain, It;s Pouring

The Old Man is Snoring

He Jumped in Bed

And Bumped His Head

And Couldn't Get Up in the Morning.
