Happy, Happy New Year!

Most years during the Christmas holidays my husband and I take a trip to a beautiful place to renew ourselves. This past season we ventured to Washington state where we lived early in our marriage. We visited a bustling Seattle, saw bald eagles as we drove over the Cascade Mountains, visited dear friends, and stayed in a high mountain lodge just east of North Cascade National Park.

It was a wonderful time of ease and reflection about our blessings and our future dreams. This photograph, taken as we departed our lodge, seemed to perfectly symbolize all of our lives. Our roads are winding. There’s always a light of promise amid all the peaks and valleys.

Instead of the usual New Year’s resolutions, I invite you to be grateful for the present and get excited about the future. Ponder what you truly love. Let your passions and personal dreams guide your decisions as you embark on this new year.

    2. I think you have apicture of one of the prettiist places I’ve ever seen. An equal would be waking up in the Smoky Mts on the east coast. The was awesome for me. Got my goals mapped out for 2010 and have been working on conditioning since before Xmas. Mentally-I’[m just addicted to cutting. Have a great time. :) K
