Here we are celebrating another New Year – Happy 2009!  Many will make New Year’s resolutions to become more physically fit, to lose a few holiday pounds, to pay off debt, to do more, to be more, to better their lives and the one’s around them.  In thinking about what I can do differently in 2009 I want to be a better wife, a better mother, a better friend, a better teacher, a better mentor, and I’m already tired just seeing these words on the screen.  I think we often set the mark so high that we feel defeated before we begin. 

 

A snowflake is a delicate, intricate, often tiny object of wonder.  It is associated with uniqueness, beauty, and innocence; yet one tiny snowflake can begin an avalanche – a devastatingly, powerful force. 

 

I have decided for 2009 I want to be the snowflake that causes an avalanche – an avalanche of learning, productivity, caring, and love.
