Some lovely words...

"Namnsdag" by Fanny Brate

"Far away there in sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead."

Louisa May Alcott

In harmony...

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."

Mahatma Gandhi

I think this must be my goal for the new year!

A fresh start!

I am not a very organized person. I wish I was, I know planning and having good habits makes housework - and everything else! - so much more easier. I have a goal to become a well organized housekeeper, and in front of a new year I'm full of exitment and good intensions! It was such a blessing for me when I read Katy's post on her wonderful blog Country Blossom about keeping a journal. You can read it here http://countryblossom.blogspot.com/2009/10/treasury-of-simple-moments.html.
I started in March 2011, and I love my journal! Both to write in it and go back and read things I have written there. And with all the beautiful pictures in it that I've taken from old magazines it's such a joy to use it!
On the first day of the new year I made the front-page of a new journal, and when I look at it I allready feel a lot more organized and prepared :-)

A Happy New Year to all of you!
