REFLECTIONS of 2018....Day 2

  KWANZA DAY 2......SELF DETERMINATION 

  As I said yesterday, you can research today’s principle on the web. 

Why is it that the days between Christmas and New Year’s goes so quickly. Yesterday I was just coming down from the celebration of Christmas and today there are five days till it’s Nee Years day.  As a kid I hated the thought of the days between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve.  Our family always had the same meal for both of those days. WHY?  I had no idea but that’s what my step-grandmother seemed to make.  It was how she said they celebrated; their tradition.  I was glad when I left home and ate what I wanted on both nights well at least for awhile.  All of a sudden I missed traditions and it was not till I met my second husband did I begin a new set.  Yes I still do these traditions today but perhaps on a smaller scale as we live in another area now. 

I still seems like the days between both eves just come too fast.  Like many of the others here in Florida (with families elsewhere) there are no Christmas Day meal leftovers.  No reason for us to cook up a huge meal. We end up on the day after Christmas going out for lunch or supper.  We do lunch.  I must say I do miss leftovers after Christmas such as ham and perhaps the rings of pineapple cooked on the ham.  

So I ask again why do the days between the eves seem to go by quickly?  

      REFLECTIONS of 2018

            DAY 2

Today take time to think back on your New Years resolutions for 2018. Yesterday you were asked to think about the ones you made.  Did you fall by the wayside or see them through.  Reflect about which you accomplished. Did they change you in any way? 

Most will make resolutions to loose weight; eat more healthy; exercise more; spend more time on a hobby; visit family and have more family time.  These are goals that seem to be popular.  

We’re one of these in your 2018 resolution list?  

If you did not accomplish all 

It happens we tend to make a goal that sre not easy to keep.  So it seems if we do something to not continue we drop it. That is not what should be done. Just start over again.  As you think back on your goals question yourself the reason why you did not accomplish them.
