Happy Saturday to each of you! How are you spending the first Saturday of the new year?
I got up early to let a co-worker in the building, which meant I got to unload some items I have been meaning to take to work all semester. I then dropped off a box of items at Goodwill. My clothes are all ready for the week, and I'm still downloading pictures from my mini iPad to the computer.
I need to get my sew machines working so the girls can sew scarves next Saturday. If I were ready to make decisions about various items around the house, I could get together more to donate, but I'm not ready for that yet. I could work on the quilts I started with Mom's clothes.
What do you do to pass the time? I don't do well sitting and doing nothing. I could read, but I don't have a book that is jumping off the shelf to be read.
Whatever you choose to do today, enjoy it!

Happy New Year!
Do you have traditions you follow today?
We traditionally we have black-eyed peas, cabbage, cornbread, and ham. Even though I am starting 2016 alone, I have soaked my beans and have now started cooking them, and I've started my cornbread.
As the food cooks, I am sitting here watching the birds on the back patio enjoy birdseed. It makes me so happy to see the male and female Cardinal each day.
Do you have plans for the new year? Resolutions? I'm not a resolution girl, and at this point, I am just taking each day one day at a time, so we will see what the year brings.
The Literacy Triad is planning to attend two conferences here in the state, and we are presenting numerous times at one of them. Those will be my little mini vacations and time to rejuvenate.
I enjoy my work, and it will keep me busy in the coming weeks and most of the semester.
I'm on a new committee at church, so I'm looking forward to seeing where that will lead.
I'm sure I will be going to see my nephew wrestle and play soccer, and it will soon be dance competition season.
Whatever this year holds and you choose to do, I wish you a very Happy New Year, everyone!
