Missy's Moments

  I opened my patio door this morning and looked just east and saw this: And then I glanced just up in front of me to the south and saw this: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23

New Year's Day- ahhh why is it I feel like I can do just about anything New Year's Day and by 8am Jan. 2nd I'm ready to throw in the towel and resort back to my old ways?!? I'm not one for making resolutions- I think I used to be. Or I think I thought I used to be. I may have even blogged about it in the past. I'm sure I've come up with creative cute ways to trick myself into believing I haven't set any resolutions- for instance renaming them. In fact I think one year I even said my resolution was not to set any resolutions. Well as you can see with my 30 day photo challenge that is only on day 9, 60 days after I started it. Or my 1000 Gifts list that made it a whole whopping 7 days, or my diets that typically only last as long as it takes to get comfy again in my clothes to prevent shopping for bigger sizes or my morning quiet times that vary depending on the day and to-do list or the books I have started reading only to get distracted by another book t...

I have declared this to be the last year of Halloween in the Eagen house. Last year I bribed encouraged the boys to go out to dinner and go bowling instead.

I will post some of my picks after seeing them but of course there are the favorites from past, Michelle Kwan and Sasha Koehn, that spin Sasha does always makes me wince! Then there are the events that always bring out the mama in me... the up in the air, flips that some of those skiers do. Yikes. I'm always so afraid we'll witness some horrible accident so this year I think I'll just pray for their safely and try not to close my eyes to much!
