Thank you for your friendship, for reading my blog and all the lovely comments you leave for me.I am so grateful for the beauty and inspiration I see, when I come and visit your blogs.
These lovely images are from ~ Decorative Country Living.
This is the time of the year that some of us make New Year Resolutions ~
are you going to make any and do they normally work out for you?
I have made a few ~
Continue to do some walking every day, especially early in the morning
Eat food that is more healthy
Try something new
Maybe even study the French language again, it was hard to speak and understand what the French were saying, when we were in France, they spoke so quickly. The lessons I had from High School, did not seem to be working.
I just love this Calender from 1910, from the Graphics Fairy ~ how lovely that someone still had this wonderful Calender.I want to wish all my dear friends a wonderful 2010 and may it bring much love, good health, prosperity and blessings to you.
Hugs
Carolyn
Dear Carolyn, at the dawn of this new horizon we have in front of us, I want to greet you and wish you all the beautiful things that your soul has to offer to you and to the world and I also wish for you all the blessings you desire, from up above!
ReplyDeleteThank you, also, for the gift of your beautiful friendship, which I appreciate very much.
And that is a very charming calendar you have displayed here for us all. Thank you for that.

Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI love your new banner! I have not made any resolutions yet but a couple years ago I challenged myself to read the classics. It worked very well as I read many wonderful classic books and enjoyed them all. I have not decided on anything yet for the coming year but I am leaning toward finsihing my novel that I have been writing for some time now.
Blessings for a Happy New Year!
Kim

Carolyn, thank you for always visiting and saying such nice things. I am flattered that you like my photos, I actually live in a tiny little house!!

ReplyDeleteI love my blogging friends and I am so thankful I have met you, I do love a lot of the same things as you. Maybe we could teach each other French, I would love to learn. I have heard that there are some really good lessons on line. i may have to research that one for us!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B
