I do declare . . .

Welcome back to my blog!  Again!  2014 has arrived to find me down and out with my first "official" case of "influenza"  H1N1 - a darn nasty cold and wasted week of a perfectly great life.  Soooooo I haven't had a chance to celebrate my favorite evening of the year - New Year's Eve - nor set up my "plan" for a brand new year!  I am about ready to do that though.  As you my faithful readers know - I love the New Year and the freshness it brings with new starts!  Last year I posted the challenge to learn five new things in 2013.  I did have a great time learning how to identify and shoot several different firearms - check it out here.  I also beefed up my CPR training.  And then it was downhill.   I did not learn Algebra I, the electric slide, nor how to knit.  No worries!  I will do it this year!!

I apologize to my daughter Casey the math teacher, that I did not get the four week Algebra I class done that I intended.  She loaned me a text book and was all ready to tutor me through it last summer . . . a feat I'm sure isn't at the TOP of her TO DO list! :)

Learning the Electric Slide is my celebration dance!!  I fully intend to get to my ideal weight and with that to learn to do some dance moves!  I have always felt awkward on the dance floor - but the electric slide just looks like so much fun!!!!!

Check back this week as I roll out my plans for 2014 and my 55th year of blessed living!  I will share the things I am focusing on this year - - - all with an ultimate goal of keeping things simple, low key, and comfortable!!

Here are some hints of what I'm looking towards . . .
