Happy New Year!

We hope everyone had a great holiday and that you were able to get your bucket filled whether it be by seeing family and/or friends, having some peace and quiet or going to a party or two.

The holidays can be complicated and my family certainly hit some road bumps (blown transmission in my daughters car was not on my wish list) but we were able to see both sides of the family for the first time in 3 years. I am grateful for great healthcare for my family and friends, I’m grateful for somewhat new friends who stepped in to help watch my kennel cough dog, and I’m grateful I had my kids all home for more than a weekend. I know we all have so many blessings.

So here we are, in a new year! I don’t usually prescribe to New Year’s resolutions. I just try to keep up with all the “old” things that keep me grounded and happy…lunch with friends, dinners with friends and at the top of my list is the Women’s Club events. I’ve met so many new people and caught up with old friends at First Fridays and Daytime Programs. I hope to add in at least one of the book clubs and Savvy Women this year to see new and familiar faces.

Wait, I just changed my mind. I would like to have a collective New Year’s Resolution for our woman’s group. I challenge you all to invite at least one new guest to an event this month. It could be someone who already belongs to the club but doesn’t come to events for whatever reason. Or it could be a new neighbor who has no idea we exist. Either way, let’s shake up January!

Susan and I are so grateful for all of you. Here’s to a BountiFUL 2023!
