A Brand New Year


Every January, I like to take stock of where my life has been, where it is now, and where I want it to be as I ease into another new year. 2009, promises to hold economic and personal challenges as my husband has lost his job in the auto industry after 33 years.
Changes in life's direction are inevitable, and not always welcome but, I hope to take this loss and turn it into an opportunity to explore new ways of living. I'm not a great advocate of conventional methods anyway. I would rather use my imagination and creativity to craft a life uniquely my own, to reflect my beliefs and interests. So, I never make New Year's resolutions. I know where I am going but, the detours thrown my way will slow down navigation and hopefully take me on the path of new adventures I may have missed otherwise.
