Welcome 2009

A New Year always offers a chance to look back, take stock and vow to change those things in our lives that we feel need improving. Although, I can’t really say that I am a believer in New Year's Resolutions I do get sucked into making a “list.” However, this year I decided to not even entertain the usual ones that never even make it out of my head. Sure I would like to save more money, eat right, take some photography class, figure out how to make Bella Salsa into a million dollar company, and of course still have time to volunteer. But let’s be honest with all the spare time I have…….NOT going to happen. So this year I have decided to look inside and figure out how to make my chaos more manageable. For me that involves simple reminders and therefore as of today I have posted the following on my frig. 5 Simple Thoughts for 2009 1. Hug/Kiss your husband. In order to feel connected you have to connect. 2. Children learn by doing and usually that involves making a mess. 3. Children have frustrations of their own, even more so when they can’t communicate with words…..help them to express their ideas. Breakdowns happen for a reason……figure out the Why. 4. Childhood is only for a short while…. 3650 days. Enjoy it all. 5. When all else fails turn on the radio and dance.
