Focus!

     Tis the new year. Resolutions? Hmmmm. Focus.

     On the positive. On what is true and lovely and pure and kind. On the beauty and hope in life. On what there is to gain by new beginnings.

     Have you seen the commercial that talks about gaining in the new year instead of losing? I love that commercial. It shows people at the beginning of the commercial talking about their weight and losing weight seems to be the focus. Then they switch to people responding to what they want to gain in the new year.

     For me? Hope, Joy, Love, Creativity, Perspective. and Focus.

     What do you hope to gain in the new year? 

And here is that painting I promised. My extremely talented daughter in law, Brooke, painted this from the photo I shared in an earlier blog post. This brought tears the second I saw it. For many reasons, but I think mainly because I had mentioned that this was one of my favorite photos with my grandson and Brooke heard me and put time and effort into creating this for me. And it is so GOOD! 

Thank you, Brookie!

And thank you little baby for bringing sweet joy to my life.
