Help for Another Blogger

One of the blogs I read on occasion is written by a fellow named Travis Erwin. On January 4, 2009 his home burned to the ground. Thankfully, both he and his wife and both their young sons and the dogs are okay, but they lost everything. Some other very nice bloggers, Erica Orloff and Stephen Parish have set up a site where the rest of us can do something to help.

Please help the Erwin's rebuild their home.

My 2009 Resolutions

For 2009 I'm cutting back my list of resolutions. Last year's list was a bit long, I think. It didn't seem like it when I wrote it, but as the year wore on and I did the quarterly reviews I realized I had been a tad optimistic. Here goes.

1) Lose another ten pounds (more would be nice, but I'm being realistic here)

2) Finish my son's afghan

3) Complete one scrapbook from the materials and photos I have ready and waiting to compile.

4) Play a game with the family at least once a month.

5) Create a work area for my youngest son in his room.

I know many people avoid resolutions like the plague, but I like the idea of setting goals and this is a good time to start new ones.

Quote of The Week

"Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't."
-Melody Beattie

It's easy to remember this in good times, but not quite as easy in hard ones.
