Happy 2013!

Happy New Year!

Wow, it is already 2013! Is it just me or did 2012 fly by?

Now for some randomness...yesterday I discovered  I am part Scottish. Funny that it took me until my 30's to develop an interest in my family history. Sad? Yes. But, now my curiosity has been perked and I am eager to find out more. All I know thus far is that my early relatives have a castle in Scotland called the Guthrie Castle. Hmmm...I do believe Rocky, the kids and I will have to do some traveling to go visit "my" castle as well as "his" castle, the castle in Germany for the Faber part of his family. I will have to discover what the name of that castle is. :-)

A brief overview of today...the kids and I enjoyed some quality time at Barnes and Noble in an attempt to get out of the house. This was perfect because...we are such little bookworms and it was raining. Perfection. Yes, and the peppermint mocha coffee I enjoyed while exploring books with my babes made the outing even more perfect (I know, bad mama for splurging, but it sure was a nice way to start the new year!).
I have been loving having River home from school. Sending him back to school after break is going to be so difficult.:-(

Blessings to you this next year! May it be your best year yet!

Here is a little New Year's Blessing I love and thought I would share...

"May light always surround you;
Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your hurts turn to healing;
Your heart embrace feeling.
May wounds become wisdom;
Every kindness a prism.
May laughter infect you;
Your passion resurrect you.
May goodness inspire
your deepest desires.
Through all that you reach for;
may your arms never tire."

~D. Simone.


Until next time...happy new year!
