New day, New year

Al and Danny

Me, Danny (son), Donna Lynn(niece), Mark (nephew)

Well, here we go with another year ahead! New days, new nights, new beginnings. The old year has passed away and the slate is clean for all things new.

I don't know about you, but I get excited about a new year. I start thinking about changes I need to make with myself and I dream of the things to come.

My new year lunch began with the black eye peas, cabbage, sweet potatoes and chicken. Can you tell I'm from the glorious South:-) I did stay up to watch the ball drop in New York.

I'll share the Fruit of the Spirit and what it means to me.

Love: seeks the highest good of others

Joy: gladness not based on circumstances

Peace: contentment, unity between people

Patience: slow to speak and slow to anger

Kindness: merciful, sweet, and tender

Goodness: generous and open hearted

Faithfulness: dependable, loyal, and full of trust

Gentleness: humble, calm, and non-threatening

Self-Control: behaving well

_Galatians 5:22,23

I hope everyone will have a blessed, healthy, and Happy, happy New Year! I have a preview of Spring with my Sweet Olive shrub and Carolina Jasmine blooming and the wonderful fragrance. And I can almost smell the Gardenia, Roses and Lily's that will be blooming in the Spring.

So stay warm and healthy. I hope this New Year will bring out the best in Me and You too!
