Happy New Year’s Eve eve.  There is always a boost of energy that the anticipation of a new year brings.  Like spring, I seem to find lots of creative ideas and an optimism that the coming year (or season) will be positive, filled with more good than bad.

I don’t make resolutions but rather set goals.  I don’t always meet all of those goals, but for me, striving to be a better person, doing good deeds and making tweaks in my personal life towards improvements will keep me focused on leading a better life.

This is not to say that some of those goals can involve home, garden and making more time for friends through sharing meals.

I appreciate the connections I’ve made through my blog and Instagram, Twitter and even FB (sometimes).  Thank you for your visits and comments, I think of you as friends in a new age of what that word means.

May 2016 be a good year for us all—I wish you the best a year can offer.

xo,  Karen ♥
