A NEW YEAR
One year ago, I wrote about taking you along with me on my journey as I got caught up on my scrapbooks. I enjoyed looking back as I worked on pages from 1998. It ended up being very therapeutic as my son went off to college and I could reminisce. Well … a year has past and I’m now into 1999. I must have taken an awful lot of pictures. Along the way, I got side tracked and started new albums or worked on other specialty albums. So if you’ll bear with me, I plan to continue the albums in progress.

In the spirit of my continued New Years resolution … which is, finish what you have started, I share this with you from the Message Board posted by Pixiegem.

"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished." So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how good I feel!!

Happy New Year,
Julie
