what did you do the first day of the year? well....

i often find myself a little down seeing the old year pass, i dont know what that is but i guess its a reflection on the pass year,, many of us had joys and sadness this year,, some had a great year over all and some did not,, but now that the new year is here, i often dread this time due to trying to get all the tax information together,, my least thing i like to do,, it takes me weeks to get things together for the accountant,, and every year is the same, you think i learn to try to get ready for it sooner, so today,, on the first day of the year , this morning i spent gathering all the paperwork that i need, but as i sat here for three hours sorting, and watching one of the dvds i got at christmas,, i thought i didnt take the time to do what i should,, is bow my head ask gods grace on the year ahead, often we get so busy that we forget the one who has everything in his hands, and now looking forward to what wonders that i dont even know yet that will come to pass, and thankful that its a day to spend also with my family, and cherish it, and taking the carving box along so i can sit and enjoy what i like to do the best , woodcarving, happy carving, arleen
