As January is drawing to a close, most of us have thought about new resolutions and goals for 2008. Hopefully you are all doing great! Here in Texas, it is so cold, I seem to have "brain freeze", but am pushing forward. My husband Lee, being an avid sports enthusiast, read me a quote from Lou Holtz(former Notre Dame coach) I hope it will be a motivation as you continue working toward your resolutions and goals.
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY.
GOD HAS GIVEN ME THIS DAY TO USE AS I WILL.
I CAN WASTE IT OR USE IT FOR GOOD.
WHAT I DO TODAY IS IMPORTANT,
BECAUSE I'M EXCHANGING A DAY OF MY LIFE FOR IT.
WHEN TOMORROW COMES THIS DAY WILL BE GONE FOREVER,
LEAVING IN ITS PLACE SOMETHING I HAVE TRADED FOR IT.
I WANT IT TO BE GAIN, NOT LOSS;
GOOD, NOT EVIL;
SUCCESS, NOT FAILURE.
IN ORDER THAT I SHALL NOT REGRET THE PRICE I PAID FOR IT,
BECAUSE THE FUTURE IS JUST A WHOLE STRING OF NOWS.
May God Bless you as you continue this journey with God in control, and you in obedience and zeal pushing toward the mark.
Love,
Sharon

Hi Sharon - I remember Lou Holtz making that statement. He was quite the man. We are in FL now for 9 weeks. The sun is shinninng so beautiful but a little chilly. Bob and I moved in on Saturday 1/26. Things went smooth but we are changing our winter vacations now to cruising. It is much easier and NO COOKING. There is a season for every thing and FL vacation season is past. We really got spoiled on our Cruise to Hawaii. Luv ya both much. Maybe one day you and Lee will cruise with us. That would be the ultimate of our life. - Arlene
