Happy New Year’s!

Just a couple of pretty things for you to look at this day.

I hope you have a wonderful 2010!
My New Year’s Resolutions for this year? I guess you’d call them phrases or ideas, but it sums up where my thoughts are:
- waste not, want not
- debt free
- train up a child in the way he should go

About Lynn 
Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
What You Do Sow a thought, reap an action.
Sow an action, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny.

Happy New Year, Lynn! I like your resolutions – very basic and to the point. Mine are to have a more disciplined prayer life, to make better use of my time, and to enjoy my daughter more. May the Lord grant us His grace and equip us to fulfill His desires for us.
Dear Lynn,
Thanks for the pretty pictures~Are these from your own collection?
Your resolutions sound wonderful to me! Something good to meditate on.
Love,
Marqueta
Your “ideas” are just what all of us should think about for this new year.
The pictures are lovely…wishing you a prosperous and blessed 2010!

Emily, you have some fine resolutions as well!
Marqueta, yes, they are old postcards from my collection. I love old graphics.
Maria, thank you. Happy New Year to you too, for all of 2010 and then some!
