2012 – Resolutions……Tragedy strikes…..

We all do it – we make useless resolutions we have every intention of fulfilling but no desire to actually commit beyond the month of January.  It’s a New Year trap and it’s alive and well.  So avoid the resolution rush and aim your efforts towards something that will last.  Record your 2011 best memories, for starters.  Collect the pictures, make an album, write a blog, do whatever you can to preserve the year.   And then make a plan to record 2012.

A teacher colleague was on his way to a wedding on Saturday and made a big mistake – he pulled out in front of a truck.  He died instantly, his wife is beyond critical.  One minute they were laughing together, the next second they weren’t.   LIfe is short.  Record yours.

Holidays are on the horizon.  That means that along with the excitement comes a certain amount of STRESS.  Sound right?   Besides planning menus, buying presents, and anticipating holiday trips, how about incorporating a REMEMBER WHEN segment for everyone to enjoy?  Involve hilarious/sentimental photos from the past that will immediately spark conversations.  Entice the oldest members to share some special family memories from ‘way back when’ and create a dialogue of fun.  Come on, IT’S  NOT  ALL  ABOUT  THE  FOOD!!   Food will make your jeans tighter.  GENES will make your mood lighter.  Wow, that should be on a sampler!!!   Have a family – inspired holiday.
