New Year, New Hope

A new year certainly brings new hope...thank God for another new year that we can start things afresh and do what we do better. I'm always mindful not to take for granted another new day of my life, cuz I never know when there'll be no tomorrow for me. So carpe diem, seize the day!

For a start, I'm excited about the new year...for one, I found a long-lost pal through this blog! Looking forward to meeting him soon...

Here's my hope list for 2006:
1) Family - Continued love, peace and harmony in the home...Good health for one & all
For Andrew - that I'll watch his health and make sure he lose weight!
For Samantha - that she may learn the concept of delayed gratification and self-discipline
For Samuel - that he may mature and cope well with his new secondary school life
For Steward - that he'll continue to grow healthily and remain a happy, cheerful boy
For mum - that good health and happiness bestow her
For myself - better adjustment as a SAHM-cum-freelance worker, exercise more (as my recent health report requested)

2) Food for my mind - that I can write better/faster, have more spaced-out assignments; that I have more time to read the books that are piling by my bedside (God, please make Steward sleep earlier and faster at night so that I have more free time); do something for stepfamilies in Singapore (not sure how/what but pray for the right opportunities)

3) Friends - that we may spend more regular time together to catch up. I believe it's all about 'making time'...we're all busy, we have no time, we only make time for things that we deem important enough

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to moving house this year...so all interior designs/decor ideas are most welcome!
