Happy New Year!




Hello, everyone! I wish you all the best for the new year. Everything around us look bleak: the economic collapse is starting to hit home. I know, I feel it too, especially that I am out of job, and have astronomical medical expenses. The good side, though, is that I look at this as a time to really look deep in myself and see where can I cut costs.

Frankly, I was sucked by this materialistic world, too: I have too many clothes, shoes, and my basement and garage are filled with boxes of stuff that I never opened (and never missed!) for the past 2 years. Therefore, for this new year, my goal is simplify, simplify, simplify. We will start this weekend when my daughter and I will go through each room and sort through the treasures and junk that have accumulated through the years.

Wish me luck, but what I really need is wisdom to know which ones to keep and which ones to throw, and strength and will power to part with those things that had 'owned me' over the years.

My family wishes you a new year that is full of sweetness, happiness and prosperity without end!
