Happy New Year!

-
The other day my kids were watching the Winnie the Pooh Christmas movie, and in it Christopher Robin mentions something about having a New Years Resolution.  His friends from the Hundred Acre Woods try to figure out what a "Rusty-tution" is. Finally it is explained to them that a resolution is something that you promise not to do that you use to do or something that you promise to do that you haven't done before.  With this simple definition rolling around in my head I have come up with two New Years Rusty-tutions.  I choose to call them rusty-tutions because they are things I used to do but have become very rusty about; rusty physically and rusty spiritually.  The demands of everyday life have gotten in the way and these two things have a tendency to get put off or done without the intent they deserve.  They are nothing original, or creative but just things I used to love to do but have become rusty with -- Exercise & Scripture Study!

I don't usually share my New Years Resolutions but if I seem to be missing in action on sharing my Thankful Moments I wanted you to know why . . . it is because I am still a bit "rusty". Entering the world of blog land is going to be my reward for a job well done in tending to my physical and spiritual rust.

The Milestones That Bring Us Together

  Grateful for milestones that bring family together...Last Saturday my brothers and I gathered to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday!!! After 80 years on earth my Dad's body continues to be strong (mostly) while his memory continues to fade. For a man who is a planner and organizer he struggles to live in the moment and be content...I guess when you don't have current memories to reflect on, you dream and imagine your future. Inspite of his current reality we enjoyed a few hours celebrating together, laughing, sharing and watching him relive his glory days with near clarity. Watching him watch himself play football and talk and share about the players and the plays brought out part of my Dad that has been hidden for years!

  There are moments in life when you realize just how blessed you are... celebrating my mom's 80th birthday recently was one of those moments!! Over the years we have moved away from one another, haven't always stayed in close contact with everyone but being together I felt the love that comes from being family! To my mom family is everything and it is her love for us individually that radiates and unites those around her! My mom is a little energizer bunny sharing, serving, living, loving, experiencing, adventureing and enjoying every moment of every day! She definitely is not 80 years old but 80 years loved!!! And on her way to many more!! From three awesome Andruski kids... ...to this beautiful bunch... ... combined 17 years ago with the Browns makes for a wonderful group of great people to love one special lady! A highlight of celebrating my mom was to spend time in the temple with her and many of her posterity...it was a very special family sealing session (three actual...
