Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Yourself, and Loving Life

For 2016 all of my New Year’s resolutions are found in one word… I take New Year’s resolutions very seriously. I have had years where I have written pages of instructions for myself. I have had years where not a single word has gone on paper but my thoughts were looking forward to the new…
I love this season of the year; Thanksgiving, Christmas and then the anticipation and celebration of Easter. But I have to admit that Thanksgiving always takes me to a place of self-reflection.
