Happy New Year!

If I look back and think about it, I know 2021 didn’t fly by as quickly as it seems right now but honestly, it isn’t going to be very long before it’s New Year’s again and we’re ready to usher in 2023. So . . let’s all work as hard as we want and do the things we want to get accomplished in 2022. We don’t have as much time as we think we do.

I’m always telling Vince that for people who are miserable, time seems to drag by. For those of us having fun, the time flies. Some days I get up and say “Let’s have a miserable day so the day will be longer and we can get more done!” We laugh but we rarely have miserable days. But you know what? I know that could change in a heartbeat . . literally. So, in 2023, I want to be happy, I want to spend as much time as I can with Chad, Nicole and Addie . . and, of course, Vince. I want to get a lot done. I want to have fun. I want to be a happy influence on others and help brighten the days of those I encounter.

My wish to all of you is that you have a safe, healthy and happy New Year and that you all have fun . . lots of fun doing whatever makes you happy.

As for me . . I’ve waited long enough and I’m going to start my New Year’s Start – Elizabeth Eyles. Boots is curled up on my lap, purring . . . I think he’s very thankful Addie is gone and no longer carrying him around or sitting nose to nose with him reading to him. I sure wish he’s stretch out in the chair beside me instead of on my lap but . . he’s a cat and he’s going to do whatever he wishes and not be very considerate of my wishes. 🙂

Again, Happy New Year to you all and the next time you hear from me, it will be 2022. 🙂

  2. My New Years start is Quakers in Scotland. Ok it is kitted and started with the first 10 stitches in place. I will work on it more tomorrow.

  4. Happy Happy New Year to you Judy, along with Vince, Chad, Nichole and Addy. May you be Blessed with much time and many successes on your goal list!

  5. Happy New Year to you and your family! Thanks for all your positive posts–you’ve inspired me to get more done in the coming year!

  6. Praying God’s blessings upon blessings for you Judy, Vince, your family, and all your lovely follower-friends. Thank you for sharing your life with us, and teaching us so many things.

    Tonight, I’m sewing 9-patch square donuts, and H’s for Haynes. Yesterday it morphed into D for Deacon, L for Lena, and C for Cassie, my grands who are in TN.
    Hubby Terry has declared he’s retiring in 13 months. He bought a calendar with extra months and he’s begun crossing off the days. I’m hoping I can retire much sooner than that. I’m already getting people trained in how to do my responsibilities.

  7. Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks for all you share with us. I’ve been following you for many years and although I don’t do any needlework, I still enjoy reading about what you are doing. Here’s to a healthy and happy 2022.

  9. Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank you for sharing all that you do!! May 2022 bring you joy, good health, and all that makes you happy!!

  10. Happy New Year to you and Vince. The year has gone by fast for me also. Maybe 2022 will slow down a little. All in all it has been a good year.

  13. Your posts are such a bright way to start my day. I am wishing much happiness and many blessing to you and your family in the coming year.

  14. Happy New Year to you and Vince. You’re right about 2023 being here before we turn around twice. When I was much, much, much younger time seemed to go at a snails pace – vacations and holidays never seemed to get here. Now that I’m a way bit older and have the time to do all the things I didn’t have time to do when I was raising children and working time flies. There should be a way to reverse that whole process. LOL
    I hope your 2022 is filled with good health, peace, joy and the time to do all the things you want to do.

  16. Happy New Year Judy! I finished four cross stitch pieces this year. Woo hoo! Ha ha I enjoy your blog. Hopefully, mom and I can get to Missouri again this year.

    • I hope y’all can get back over here. I keep thinking I’ll plan a trip to your area to shop for cross stitch but I guess with my no buy pledge, that isn’t going to happen.
