“Let the new year be an entirely fresh start towards achieving all our goals. Lets kick start an era of excellence!” ~Pearl Aman
May all your resolutions be achievable. I’ll spend the day with family and friends being thankful for our time together. How will you spend you day?
This is a late post, but I wanted to get my thoughts in for the coming year. I want to put down some goals I want to achieve starting in a few hours.
Now that the dust is settling in my life, and things are getting back to normal. I’d like to :
*Post more to my blogs.
*Become more active in social media.
*Increase physical activity.
*Write something everyday.
*Work on my WIPs.
and most important:
*Give more love and attention to my family.
What are you goals for 2013? I hope your new year is all you want it to be.
One of my favorite winter spots is Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It’s one of the most beautiful I’ve visited.
When my family first approached me about visiting there, I refused. I told them that was a place for honeymooners as several of my friends and their friends chose Gatlinburg to celebrate their marriages. A few even married there in the various wedding chapels interspersed around the city. Nope, that city was not for me. I didn’t want to see starry-eyed couples holding hands or huddled together floating down the street with dreamy smiles on their faces. My family finally wore me down and I consented to go. I’m glad I did. 
I found Gatlinburg to be a quaint little town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. Turns out, not only honeymooners go there, but families as well. I was surprised to see the streets packed with people checking out the stores, going into restaurants, visiting museums and milling around breathing in the crisp, clean mountain air. There’s even a night life. When it was time to go home, I didn’t want to leave. I grudgingly told them I liked it while being secretly thrilled I came. I even nonchalantly suggested making a return visit.
What about you? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
