Greetings Work and Family Members,

I wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Well, it is time for us to start working on those resolutions. However, I much prefer the word “goals” because it signifies something we are aiming for. My goal is to actually revamp my home office space, instead of moving bits and pieces around. Do you have a 2007 goal that you can share? Please post it in our Work & Family forum. See the link below.

Here is the event calendar for January; it may inspire you to define your goal.

*January Calendar (07)*
January is Cervical Cancer Screening Month. Remember to take some time out now so you will have time later.

*Take Time to Revitalize Yourself*
After the stressful and stress-filled holiday season, or any time you feel that you have been stretched to the limit, take some time to revitalize and rejuvenate yourself.

*A Lighter Moment*

What is the difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist stays up to ring the New Year in. A pessimist will stay up just to make sure the old year leaves.

*Quote for Inspiration* On Having Enough

Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect you have enough, and when you have enough, you have self-respect. -Gail Sheehy

*Making Ends Meet*

Consider joining MyPoints.com. I have been a member for years. All you have to do is read the ads from MyPoints. You receive 5 points each time you check out an ad. You can opt out of receiving certain advertisements. There are surveys from time-to-time, you can take them or not. The points add up quickly and you can shop through MyPoints or receive gift cards. I take gift cards, because you can use them yourself or give them away. See www.mypoints.com. Extra money does not always have to be cash in hand.

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. —Erma Bombeck
