A new year once again. How quickly time passes when you are busy. It's been a year of past memories, and new memories made.

Family get together during the holiday season. Son, Daughter-in-law and daughter. Brother, mother, and father. And yes my husband too.

What will 2009 be like? Will I get to travel a little? Learn new techniques in photography? Will I be moving to a new place? Maybe even closer to my daughter or son. I wonder what province is half way between them.

New year's resolution - never give up. What? Never give up in enjoying life even when I see so much hatred. Never give up being kind, showing a smile to passerbys. (Not easy when you are feeling down yourself at times.)

Blogging, photography, walking, working at a job (which may have to be a reality again.) I guess these fingers were made for typing. Now if only they could do the same when I try to play the piano (a hobby, an interest to learn).

Crochet the sweater my daughter picked out. Make little angels throughout the year. Resolutions! is that like a promise. So many promises to keep. No wonder they say just make one.

So the one to keep is never give up, which can apply to all I want to do and more.
