Tika & New Year's Resolutions

Tika and I were discussing New Year's Resolutions. She yawned and stretched and dictated this to me:

"Why think hard about resolutions that you likely will abandon, ignore or break by the end of January? Don't you know that if you live to be a happy person that everything will fall into place? And that what you do everyday matters more than what you do once in a while? So from today on, realize and tell the folks that what you do today and everyday matters as long as it's the right thing and it makes you truly happy. Now you may have to step back and ask yourself what is the right thing to do? and what does make you truly happy? what do you want to be doing every day?"

After a lengthy but one-sided discussion, Tika and I decided to just strive every day to be better "people", to be happy, and to try and bring a smile to somebody else. You agree??

Tika Says Happy New Year

With temperatures hovering near zero (or below) our beautiful snow has been very dry and fluffy......... but Tika and her friends tried to make a snow-dog anyway. Look closely..... ever see a dachshund snow-man-dog before?

Being January 3rd (already!) it's high time for making
genealogy resolutions (so Tika tells me). I've already begun
on #1 (cleaning up, cleaning out, my office!!) but here are
more:

#2 - Taking time every day to do something. (Thanks to
friend Cecily for this one.)

#3 - Taking time every day to learn/enjoy/participate in
blogging. (Thanks to friend Thomas MacEntee for this one.)

#4 - Get the papers/information in the To-Do tub done and entered into my Legacy program. (Thanks to my Mom for this one
as she taught me to be neat and finish projects.)

Care to share your genealogy goals or resolutions for 2011???
