The Power of One :)

Christmas was a gorgeous day!  We even had some beautiful sunshine to brighten the day.  I love the busyness of the day, the excitement that comes from kids, the wrapping paper that fills a floor :)  We had a gorgeous yummy lunch and some scrummy desserts.  It was just nice to hang out with all the family :)

And since then I have just been in complete and total laziness mode :)  It has been gooooood :)  I'll worry bout being busy again after new year, until then I'm recharging my batteries, spending some time thinking, doing lots of reading and just enjoying each day :)

I am still thinking bout my new years resolutions ... Have come up with ONE so far haha :)  Maybe it is just cause I'm so content with my life atm, but really I like challenges, it keep me going, keeps me motivated and on the go, so need to come up with some gooooood challenges for the new year :)  What are your new year resolutions??

Talking about One, I found this gorgeous poem on a gorgeous blog.  I thought it was beautiful, so simple, but keeping that in mind, would be a good positive way to start a new year.

The power of One...

One song can spark a moment,

One flower can wake the dream.

One tree can start a forest,

One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,

One handclasp lifts a soul.

One star can guide a ship at sea,

One word can frame the goal

One vote can change a nation,

One sunbeam lights a room

One candle wipes out darkness,

One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey.

One word must start each prayer.

One hope will raise our spirits,

One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,

One heart can know what's true,

One life can make a difference,

You see, it's up to you!

Two last shares before I go :)  This one was done ages ago for Stamp and Scrapbook Madness :)

And a card I have made for Websters Design Team Call :)

I am childfree for a few nights while the girls are visiting their grandparents, am enjoying time to just 'breathe' and be me, so am off to the world of reading and might even do some scrapping later tonight :)

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance.

The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect,

as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life.

You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

- Arnold Bennett
