I Promise

On this day, December 31st, 2013, I promise to NEVER, EVER use the phrase

"All the things I didn't get done".

EVER.

Why do I promise this? I found myself saying to people in passing "Oh, I just didn't get THIS done."  Or I said "I wish I had gotten THAT done".


 It occurred to me one day to say, "I DID get all of THESE done."

Works In Progress?
Two quilt tops that need to be quilted and several bins filled with fabrics designated for future quilts.  But I'm no longer going to complain.  By documenting my year, I managed to see that what I didn't do?  Will always be in the back of my mind.  However, I should always be focused on what I DID do!

I will continue to be centered on home and hearth this New Year. 
How about you?  Did you get more or less done this year?
