Hello 2012!
Happy New Year, everyone!
We slipped away to the beach over the holiday weekend. There’s something wonderful about a beach town when the crowds are gone … and retracing our steps from the summer time. As many of you can attest, the weather was gorgeous and almost warm this past weekend. Perfect for walking along the water with shovels and a metal detector. We drew in the sand, collected shells, and watched many happy dogs that got to take to the beach now that it’s off-season.
I’m looking forward to a new year and an new adventures around the corner. There’s nothing like a fresh start! Oh, and I found something I wanted to share, from the pages of my Whole Living magazine….. do any of these thoughts resonate with you? #10 is really calling to me! 🙂
Thank you for stopping by – I always appreciate your visit!
– Cindy

Happy new year to you too. And Number 10 nails it! And thanks again for sharing these totally cool pics. You and your family look so happy and the dogs are hilarious. So cute!
happy New Year to you and your family Cindy, looks like you had a wonderful time
Happy New Year! Love your 10 thoughts… It’s freezing today in Florida and your beach pics are so warm me up.
Wishing you a happy new year filled with joy!
Happy New Year to you and your sweet family, Cindy! Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement you have provided to me over the past year – your friendship means so much to me 🙂 I should print out that page and use all 10 of those things as my mantra for the New Year…I’m going to borrow it!
All of those resonate with me — I coped it to my computer!
Happy New Year!!! I love those thoughts, I am going to remind myself of them.
I copied this, too! It’s great and so many of them resonated — esp. 1, 5, 7 & 10. How nice that you got to go to the beach off season. I love it then when there aren’t the usual hordes of people! Looks like you had fun! Happy New Year, Cindy!
I just love your unexpected beach pictures for the New Year! It was so beautiful and warm. I knew that could not last long! Whole Living Mag is pretty awesome and those are all great reminders. Happy New Year!
Great thoughts – thank you. Beautiful beach pics – I agree – I love the beach without the crowds. Happy New Year to you also.
I can’t wait to see what the next big step for you is! Welcome to 2012! Let’s make it great.
Enjoy the day.

A beautiful day you had. I am smiling at the wonderful pictures of children and puppies……magical moments. So much can happen in a year….life changes sometimes too fast.
Happy New Year Cindy!! Love it that you could go to the beach. It looks so refreshing. Great pics of your kids and you. I liked number 8 especially. I think our blog community relfects that wisdom. I always feel so encouraged by your posts and comments.
I’m of the opinion that beach visits are ALWAYS a good idea, no matter the season! And I’m kind of jealous right now since I have been to the beach in years. YEARS. So sad.
Happy New Year, Cindy!
How did I miss this post?! What fun to be sinking your toes into the sandy beach, your face warmed by the sun! It’s been nice here to, and I have to wonder when we will get slammed with bad weather. For now, I’m not complaining one bit, but my youngest wishes for snow.
Thanks for the link to Whole Living. I’ve never heard of this before but it sounds like a great magazine (I can feel hubby’s eyes rolling now at the thought of yet another magazine adding to the piles).
I’m looking foward to fabulous things in 2012!
