I love January.  The start of a new year.  A clean slate.  A time to start over.  This year is going to be a year of huge change for us.  In the next three months we will complete our separation from stuff, pack our RV with essentials and hit the road to explore this beautiful country.  We are in the process of Craig's Listing all of our furniture, art work, dishes, books, patio furniture, yard art etc.  I also have a lot of rubber stamps to sell before we take off!  There is a map of the United States laid out on the dining room table, an open book of Scenic Highways and Byways and a calendar.  Talk about planning the trip of your lifetime!  We are really doing this.  My "word" for this year is ADVENTURE.  I look forward to seeing new places, meeting new people, looking for opportunities to serve outside of my comfort zone, exploring my artistic abilities, strengthening  my relationship with with my Savior and growing closer to my husband , family and friends.   I am going to make a conscience effort to acknowledge my blessings and tender mercies.  I am so excited about this year.  Stay tuned for more living.
