Happy New You!

"The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul." ~ G. K. Chesterton

I went to mass tonight to end the year that has been about seeking gratitude with the ultimate act of thanksgiving--the Eucharist. I am now procrastinating heading off to a party but will depart once this posted. I am not a fan of New Year's Eve in the sense of giving it power to create or claw back joy. Honestly, I would prefer to curl up in bed right now, and review my year and give God the end of my hours for 2012. I will though go down the street to friends and enjoy God face to face in the people there before returning home and doing that.

The Archbishop is a wise man and he had many good things for us to ponder tonight. Mary is our model for carrying Christmas in our hearts throughout the year. The Gift we received a week ago is meant to be cherished for more than a calendar day.

I am making decisions about my New Year resolutions and hope to make ones that challenge and inspire. I want to strive for the better pieces of life and to continue to create a person who has her eyes on Jesus.

Happy New Year, dear readers! May 2013 bring joy, peace, and love to you.

Peace,

Suzanne
