So there is something hiding among the Simple vases for $45. <br /><br />And darling, is that old journal ANCIENT? I feel like it's from another lifetime.

I am enjoying the fresh start of this New Year. 2013 feels like good things are coming.<br /><br />All my love.Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-6080471570136436922013-01-03T01:28:13.416-05:002013-01-03T01:28:13.416-05:00Thank you for the reminder to be deliberate about ...Thank you for the reminder to be deliberate about gratitude. I've done this before, and benefited from it, but somehow got out of the practice. Right now, I'm in a rough spot also. I know it will likely pass - like all the rest - but remembering what I can be grateful for will help my attitude in the meantime.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, and your other readers too.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-43841471219865946852013-01-01T20:14:34.574-05:002013-01-01T20:14:34.574-05:00Good points.

By the way, I would know that journal was yours if I saw it lying around - the home-made pen pocket is a real Margaret giveaway. :)Llllllll.lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645239829793924670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-49088997904923346242013-01-01T12:30:27.194-05:002013-01-01T12:30:27.194-05:00Good fr you!

Someone else also did a success jar, filled with things they accomplished on their little homestead. I'm doing that this year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-65781504073005487412013-01-01T10:49:37.491-05:002013-01-01T10:49:37.491-05:00Margo, you are an amazing person.

Generally, I see the bright side of life, but I do struggle with really taking it all to heart and re-training my brain to rest in the goodness of life rather than the negative. I hope your 2013 is full of love and joy and goodness. jodihttp://jodiink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-74783572390055135992013-01-01T09:03:32.547-05:002013-01-01T09:03:32.547-05:00Happy New Year, sweet Margo.
