Amidst pictures I need to post and words that have yet to be written, I figured it best not to put off blogging because I haven't found the time to catch up, but I should at least try to focus on the present and touch on the past when I get the chance.
As it is a new year, and I am looking ahead at the many adventures and challenges that 2010 holds, I'm reminded of a quote from Walt Disney (If it looks familiar, you've seen it at the end of Meet the Robinsons).
“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”–Walt Disney
I like the idea of always moving forward. The past is a great place to reminisce, to learn from, and to think of often, but it is also something not to always dwell on. I like to think of a great future ahead, and what God has in store. After all, there's another well known promise out there regarding our futures.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I hope you have all had a Happy New Year. Josh & I have had a great night at home enjoying each other's company, resting, and doing laundry. I had cat nap earlier in the evening, a fantastic shower with some exfoliating scrub, and then I followed it with more pampering of lotion and cremes. My skin has been extremely dry lately, and it is a much happier epidermis now.
It's now time for bed because despite the nap, I'm still quite exhausted. I look forward to a day at home tomorrow of making jewelry, playing Wii, petting the cats, eating good food, doing more laundry, and doing a little bit of studying.
