ZEBULON - We are on the brink of another new year. Are you happy with the past year? What would you like to do differently in 2019? I saw a post today on Facebook that said 2019 is a like a new book with blank pages that we get to fill in with the story of our lives next year. I like that perspective. It puts the past in perspective as we place 2018 on a shelf to remember from time to time, but we are not living 2018 starting tomorrow. We have begun a brand new year with a brand new book.

What will we do with our book? We can start with all kinds of resolutions or we can look at making new habits with our words and actions in the upcoming year. I'm finishing up with a resolution from 2017, and it is gradually becoming a habit that I like in my life. I'm working on a list of things that I would like to see as new habits in my life in 2019. I've got habits in my life that began from years past like when I read 1,000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp and began a yearly list of blessings that I am thankful for in my life. Do we want to make a resolution that might be easily broken? Or would it be easier to work toward a new habit of two in our lives? I don't know about you, but this is an easy decision for me to make!

Being alive for more than 40 years has given me perspective that I didn't have at 20 or even 30 years of age. I treasure my friends and family today and have counted over 650 blessings in my book this year. I might make 1,000 again next year, or I might be counting them aloud as much as I am writing them down. That's the thing about habits: they influence our lives in more ways than one!

2019 is a new year for us all. What are you going to write in your book?

P.S. I am working on a year end article for Pike County Times that will wrap up on 2018 and usher in the new year. Eat enough collards for me (I think they're gross! lol), and I'll keep working on that until it is done! Happy New Year!

ZEBULON - As I look over the presents under the tree and the soft glow of the lights, I am reminded that Christmas is so much more than the things that come to mind when we think about Christmas. Christmas means time with family and friends. Christmas means time to rest when I don't normally rest from reporting. Christmas also means a time to reflect on who I am and why Christmas means so much to me in how I live my life and treat others.

I'm taking some time to reflect on life in general and just enjoy living in the moment with family and friends. I hope that you have the opportunity to do the same. Merry Christmas from Pike County Times!
