Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. ~ Ralph Waldo EmersonThat's the quote I discovered and put on my Facebook banner. I thought it said a lot about what we've blogged about this month. At the beginning of a new year, we make resolutions, goals, promises to ourselves, our families, our friends. Those things are sometimes easy to make, but oh so hard to keep. At least for me it is. And it takes work. Hard work.
It's been quite a month for many of us.
Pat, once again, has graciously accepted to wear the crown of WARA president for another year. Bless you, Pat. ;) As always, she keeps us going and reminds us--or at least me--that time goes on, whether we're paying attention or not. Yeah, a lot of "not" days for me. It seems the days go by faster and faster, leaving me to wonder why it was January 1st yesterday, and now it's almost the end of the month.
Theresa has decided to take on a new "identity" as Theresa Jaye, but she'll always be the same sweet, caring and giving person she's always been. No matter who "she" is, she'll always tickle our funny bones with her blog posts and her positive outlook on just about everything.
Joan continues on her journey of conquering health issues, while living in limbo during an extended move from one house to a new one. Not an easy feat! No doubt she'll conquer the boxes and everything else, before the year is half gone.
Nina taught us how
Penny reminded us all of how important she is to all of us and that we're a lot like a family---we're here for each other. That may be one of the best things anyone can ever learn. Thank you, Penny. :)
Melissa wants to be the odd duck. ;) She's looking forward to her "new year" in late August, when all of her offspring will be attending full days of school. No more half-days for her bunch! Or her!!! I remember those days well and seem to be repeating them again with my g-kids. I guess I didn't learn the lesson the first time around!
Becky found good things about breaking her arm. Now that's an accomplishment I need to learn. No, no, not the broken arm, but finding good things in what we perceive to be not so good at all. Becky, really? Titanium? Wow! Is that like Superman or something? Thanks for showing us the best way to handle the rough spots.
Me? I mentioned setting goals and a lot of other
Thank you to all of our bloggers for making this little spot one of my favorite places to stop and not only catch up, but learn more about each of you. And thank you to our visitors for stopping by!
Today is the best day of the year!

Ha, ha. Odd duck. That's me! Quack, quack.
Ha ha back at ya, Melissa! I thought you might like that. :) But you're not as odd as it might seem. Ducks are really kinda cute, and the odd ones tend to get more attention. My philosophy is that if it works, don't fix it. :)
2014 is going by like a shot. All the years do now. It took me until the last third of this month to get my writing muscles back in shape after taking much of December off.
I'm trying to look on the bright side of life, but it's hard some days. Today is just one of those hard days. I miss my special guy.
