HAPPY NEW YEAR and a recipe too!

2010! A new year, a new decade and new resolutions!
As I've thought about mine, I've decided to:

• Seek God first, remember He's in control, trust Him!
• laugh more ~ which means I'll find more ways to have fun.
• take life less serious ~ as if I can control the outcome anyway
• respond slower ~ think first
• enjoy each day ~ more lunch out with friends, more time with family
• Enjoy the interests God's given me ~ write, travel, cook... eat healthy... but delicious and exercise!
