Living life to the fullest and paying the price, literally.

We have had car repairs out the wazoo in the last couple of weeks, our dishwasher needs to be replaced, our cats needed medical attention, etc, etc, etc. When it rains, it certainly does pour. I suppose it could always be worse, huh?

I hope you've enjoyed your holidays!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Happy New Year!

I won't say that I am making any formal resolutions--those never seem to work. After all, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Speaking of old, I will be hitting a major milestone in age--40, to be exact--this year. So my informal resolution in 2009 is to live it up and enjoy life. I believe this February 23 will be a hard day to digest but isn't age just a silly number after all? And turning 40 is better than the alternative.

I want to be a good example to my children and enjoy life to the fullest. I want to remember to appreciate my family, my friends, my job and my home. I want to remember just how fortunate I am in life and I want to appreciate all the blessings I have.

Thank you for reading. Here's to a more positive 2009!

This video is the result of the discovery of Microsoft Movie Maker on my laptop. I think I may have just discovered the answer to my backlog of scrapbooking material: I will make digital scrapbooks with beautiful music accompanying my precious photos.

I love this new pastime!
