AUTHOR: Monica Lee TITLE: Happy New Year! DATE: 3:33 PM ----- BODY:

Happy-Happy! It was a fabulous year, full of kisses and hugs from my boys-big and small. A new home and new studio, lost my appendix, gained a new web site and blog. Finally mapped out some tangible goals and have already started seeing some of them come to fruition. I feel like the biggest lesson I learned this year is to keep focused on my blessings. It is so easy to have your attitude fall off track. When something isn't going my way-I stop and think "Is my way the best way?" What is really important here? It may sound trite but being thankful can dramatically change your life-sometimes your circumstances don't even change-YOU actually change! Big picture is that I am very blessed and I just need to keep my eye on the big picture. ( I kind of think it rubs off on other people too..)
