Happy Belated Pumpkin Carving New Years
Now that January is almost over, I’m getting around to wishing everyone a happy new year.
Someone asked me this morning about New Year’s resolutions in the past that I didn’t keep.
“I don’t make New Year’s resolutions”. I said.
“I set goals and I don’t wait for New Years to do it”.
Of course, I do enjoy taking the opportunity around the holiday season to reflect on the direction my life is taking. But I also like to do this throughout the year.
I believe setting and working on goals is a balancing act between work and play. Achieving great things and celebrating successes.
To me, carving pumpkins and watermelons is play. It’s also a way to improve my talents and express myself artistically.
Happy New Year everyone!
And congratulations if you’re still on track with your own resolutions.
Happy Carving!
Ever since I dropped a candle into my first carved pumpkin of my niece (Courtney) - from a pattern I created myself - Ive been hooked. The carved gourd that looked like a bunch of cut out random shapes was suddenly transformed.
