A Brand New Year
Happy New Year!
Yes, I'm well aware that I'm a week late with that. Better late than never, though, right? For some reason, I've been looking forward to 2007 for a while now. I've had the opposite problem that you usually have around this time of year. Most people have trouble remembering to write the new year on checks, documents, etc. - it takes a couple of months to instinctively write '2007' instead of '2006'. But I have been instinctively writing '2007' for several months, and had to constantly remind myself that it's only 2006. Now, I can finally enjoy the new year.
The first part of the year is usually a slower time for Mary and me. It seems like we have a little less going on in the first quarter, and things pick up in the Spring, get busier in the Summer, and go pedal-to-the-medal in the Fall and leading up to Christmas. Then, it slows down again. Maybe that's why I enjoy the first part of the year so much. I like being busy, but it's good to slow down after a while.
Usually, in the first part of the year, I have time to do some sort of side project, like developing a website for someone. This year, I have several personal projects in mind, and an unfinished one from last year that I'd like to pick up again. I need to finish my office (as in, actually buying a desk instead of using folding tables and old file cabinets). I've also got a lot of reading that I need to do - I've purchased several technology books over the last year that I'm sorry to say are mostly unread. And then there are some other commitments that I've been putting off until I "have more time", and things like re-evaluating our insurance and investments, and making sure our budget is still in line... This part of year is starting to feel busier after all.
Still, though, I'm looking forward to 2007. I really think exciting things are ahead - like this is the year that God is really going to bless us. Not that He hasn't blessed us in the past - we are very blessed. But there can always be more. You can never have too much blessing, you know?
Anyway, I hope this year is as good to you as it is going to be to me!

I'm with you, Kris. This year is going to be a great year. I, too, have been looking forward to 2007, though not for any conscious reason. I do remember at least a couple of times last year thinking we were already in 2007 or wanting to write it on a check or whatever. That's cool. 
I'm excited about this year too, Kris. At the end of last year I told Bobby I had this feeling like something good is about to happen. I can't explain it except that it was just this notion that come over me out of the blue...wasn't thinking about 2007 or anything in particular. Just doing household chores and there it was ...something good is about to happen.
