Happy New Year Everyone!


Me and the boss!
 Well, I made it.  I finished out the year with a new position.  I'm glad I made it through.  After being mainly self-employed for the past seven years except for a couple of temporary gigs it was a real challenge.  Working was a challenge within itself.  No two hour lunches, no going into work until I felt like it, no taking off just because.  Gainful employment is worlds apart from self-employment.

Now there is a cause for celebration.  It is the last working day of the calendar year.  And for me it seems to be a milestone within itself.  All you totally self-employed people out there my hats off to you.  Those who are doing it and holding down a full-time job as myself, my hats really go off to you guys.  Its tough.  But well worth it intrinsically if not as financial rewarding as you would like it to be.  And for those who are really doing the dang thang congrats.

2013 here we come!  It just feels good to write that.  All this last day energy carry me forward and stay with me for the new year!  I need it and then some.

Make 2013 a banner year.  It will be the start of the year which will earmark the rest of your life.  Make the best of it. 

 
 My oldest grandchild (the boss) doesn't want me bring in my New Year's at Church.  I will go and pick her up and take her along.  It would please her more.  I saw last year someone else had brung a child to Watch Night service.  Seeing her grown into a young lady just reminds me of how the years do fly by.  Time is too precious to waste we need to make the best of every moment.

For those of you I dearly love I love you even more.  I plan to spend Watch Night at Church.  It is the Church where my great grandmother, great grandfather, grandfather, grandfather, all ushered.  I'll always consider it my home church.  I like to spend Watch Night in remembrance of my roots and praise God for all he brought them through and all he has done for me along my journey in life.  God is the great I am.  And thank him for all the blessings to come.  If I don't go to church all year I go to Watch Night service.  I start the year off right.  As always, what I do from then on is up to me.  God never fails. 

Afterwards, I'm heading over to the Ted Constant Convocation Center for the Watch Party there.  Hopefully it will still be in full swing.  If its free its for me!

Happy New Year.  Some of my goals for the new year are not outside the ordinary but I plan to make the year extraoridnary!
