I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed your holidays. I was blessed with another special Christmas with my family, making so many great memories. And now, 2018 is already right around the corner!
We often think of a new year as a THE time to start over or try something new. We get carried away making resolutions that we don’t stick to – because we’re human and life gets in the way. I, personally, am not one for making new year’s resolutions, but I occasionally like to set a goal or two for the year. I never feel that I have failed if I don’t succeed in my goals, I just keep on keepin’ on. There’s really no point in allowing yourself to feel like a failure; however, continuing to try can be quite rewarding. The way I look at it, new beginnings happen every single day, not just on January 1st of each year. So if you find yourself feeling discouraged about a particular thing, try making the decision to wake up every day with a smile on your face and begin again. You never know what might happen.
See you next year! 😉

Dear Cat,
I too had a beautiful Christmas with my family. It was extra special this year as my son who lives in Montreal Canada, came home (Sydney Australia) for two weeks. We’ve all been so happy!
No New Year’s resolutions for me either. Every day is a new day, and as we just don’t know what’s around the corner, every day has to be the best it can be. That is what I strive for.
I look forward to more of your mixed media videos in 2018. I love them so much and you’ve got me creating much art that I’m so proud of.
Thank you for all you do Cat and I wish you a wonderful year filled with joy and peace.
