New Years is a time for renewal.   Every year we promise ourselves that we will loose those extra pounds or spend less time surfing the net (yeah right!).  The only problem is  we get busy with living and forget all about the promises we made. 

Now here it is 2001 the first year in the New Millennium and it's time to begin the process all over again.  This year I'd like to suggest that  instead of making all those resolutions you know you won't carry though with how about trying to resolve to follow this list I have for you.  It could make a big difference in each of our lives and the lives of those around us.

My New Year's wish for each and everyone of you is that you have a very safe, happy and prosperous New Year and may the good Lord above watch over you and yours.


I'm so excited. I returned home after visiting my mother for Christmas
and found that this site has won the
Steel Magnolia New Years Award.
Thank you all so much. I am indeed honored.
