But, maybe 2018 will be different. I like the new year, it's a new slate and a new beginning. Not going to make any resolutions here....because they are soooo hard to keep. And, there again, I don't want to put myself under bondage again, it's just too hard to live up to the expectations that I place on myself. Trying to do things that are just too hard to attain.
Live each day to the best of my ability, is all I can do. I tried to do better at everything, but that only led to a few bleeding ulcers over the years.....one of them, I almost died from. So, it takes me a long time to learn a lesson...but I eventually get it and hopefully am not too late learning it.
One thing I will do though....is draw closer to God. Read his word everyday.....that is doable, even if it's just a verse or two or a chapter. Being thankful for all HE does in my life and how HE shows Himself real in my daily life. Day in and day out. Yep, that's what I need to do.
As I type this post....the Green Bay Packers are playing the Detroit Lions. Packers are losing 11-35, the game is almost over. Whew, no more games till next season. Hopefully things will be better and Aaron Rogers will be back to play.
Well, I still have the Chicago Blackhawks to root for, hopefully they will be contenders for the Stanley Cup. NASCAR starts up again 2/18/18 so we have that to look forward to also.
Well, time to close this post for the year. You all have a great night and a Happy New Year. Keep looking up ~ better days are coming.
Cheers ~ Louise

That's a wonderful post, Louise! I understand about the posting when you feel you can and I do like coming to visit you! I am determined to do better about reading my bible this year, too. I was on one of those 'read-the-bible-in-a-year' plans but lost a few days and then it was hard to get back on track. I think there are better plans than the one I was using so will look for a new one this year.
Packers did not show well today! Hope next year is a better one for the team. Kind of sad to see them fall so far from where they were the last few years. xo Diana
Hi Diana....Thanks on the post...just stuff I was feeling inside I guess. Reading the Bible, I am not a very good studier. When tests came in school, I would cram at the last minute...reading is the best I can do, a verse here and a chapter there, no method, cause I can't keep up with methods. JP had s read the bible plan and he kept to it, read through the bible 4-5 times. He is a studier, me, I just read.
Yeah, sad about the Packers, Brent Hundley tried to fill Aaron shoes, I think those are hard shoes to fill. There is always next year. Have a great NEW YEAR!!! Blessings to you.
