Hope everybody had a nice New Year's Eve! Dagan came over after his first day at the new job. (Went very well!) We made spaghetti and broccoli for dinner. Then we gathered up all my "stuff" from around the house for the annual recharging and (literally) dusting--hehe!
We took our time writing down all the things we were grateful for in 2008--mostly focused on gratitude and positive thinking for 2009 (thanking ahead of time). Then we did the burning bowl ceremony.After that we picked out a card for 2009--asked what we were supposed to focus on in this coming year. The cards focus on the spiritual level of your life. Dagan got "Change" (we laughed!) and I got "Abundance"! Could just feel the good energy last night! :):)
I got a visit by the FedEx man, too. Martha Stewart came through with the samples of some of her other glues--finally! 
And I have been working on my motivational list for 2009--now it is time to post it! All the things I want to do this year--and a more organized list, of course--hehe!! :) If I complete half of it (like I did with last year's list) I will be very, very happy. Some are left over from last year, of course--but I tried to include more levels this year. I always enjoy trying something new and learning new things--and practicing old loves. Hope you have some plans for joy, too! :) Artistic, Creative, and Spiritual Goals for 2009

What a great list! Enjoy!
I don't think of them as resolutions-just a list of fun things I want to do this year. Like I said--if I get to half of them I'll be thrilled. :)
