I can't seem to resist setting a New Year's resolution... can you?   It is perhaps the most guilt-ridden time of year as we self-evaluate everything we don't do well in our lives (thus, the guilt!) Then, when we don't abide by our resolutions, we find out how very well we can't stick to our plan to improve ourselves (more guilt!) which leads me to this year's resolution. I hereby resolve to get rid of the guilt! Mom-guilt:  I can't be at home all day with the kids, or at the special school event, or the Halloween parties...etc,etc,etc! Work-guilt: I do the best that I can in the time that I'm here. Personal guilt: I forgot the send the thank-you cards....there's nothing in the fridge for dinner...the baby hasn't gotten his flu shot...oops, I forgot: happy Birthday to my husband-- need I say more?  Life if precious. Life is GREAT! I am done spoiling things with guilt. Resolve to do the same, everyone! (-:  Happy New Year!
