This Year is Going to Kick!

by Christy

It’s the time of year to make resolutions. It’s time to reflect. We’ve all eaten our way through the holidays, so the number one resolution out there might be to lose weight. Or, you smoked your way through the holidays just so you could stand being in the same room as certain other people in your family. So maybe your resolution is to quit smoking, or at least to cut back. Well good for you, but next year you’ll be where the rest of us are, resolving to lose weight.

Despite the differences in the ways we all celebrate the Great December Holiday, one thing will unify us (and I’m not talking about G.W. Bush). We can all be sure that we have a spankin’ clean slate to build on this year. Be sure to have learned from your mistakes in 2000. Still eating pork ‘n beans from your Y2K pantry? Well, how about we not follow the mob next time it rears its ugly head. In the midst of all the holiday hubbub, we have carved out some time to bring you another installment of craftygal.

This month, you’ll find Taryn at her fridge, pulling out all the ingredients for her mom’s chili recipe. Jan hit the streets to drum up a good porch interview, and you’ll find her there with Candyce Custer of Bisque & Brush, a paint your own pottery shop. She also gathered all her knitting supplies, and plunked down at the table to show you how to knit your very own scarf. Warm! Amie found herself back at the stump musing about the apartment-hell she calls home. And as for me, I’m with the travel bureau logging the craftygal’s outing to Toronto (and this is only part 1, there’s more).

If there’s one thing you do as you prepare to set some goals for the new year, I would hope that you could take some time to reflect on this wise saying. "You can’t change the past, but you can change how you think about it."

Cheers!
