Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

As Spring brings forth the promise of new life, so January 1st sets the stage for new hopes, dreams, promises and beginnings. A new year is a time for letting go of the trials and tribulations of yesterday and focusing on where you want to be tomorrow.

So I for one like to write a good old-fashioned letter once in a while to keep my award-winning penmanship skills in tip-top condition.
I wanted some lined paper, but not the cheap school-grade three-ringed stuff.
Like myself, my Mom was very organized. She had tons of notebooks filled with finances, schedules and even what we each got for Christmas! (Because knowing that will come in handy SOME day, I’m sure…) Continue reading
