This year I did start on the setting of goals but got waylaid as probably many of you may have.....however I did write down a year of monthly affirmations in my journal. As we are approaching month end here are the first two sets:

Affirmations for January are:
• Harvest the bounty of your efforts.
• “ Live in harmony with one another, be sympathetic, love as brothers and sisters, be compassionate and humble.” 1 Peter 3:8 Learning how to bear inescapable sorrow is not easily done!
• TRUST YOUR INTUITION AND FIND THE “HOW”

Affirmations for February are:
• Release any limitations to your full potential!
• “ It is a wise parent, grandparent, social worker who knows to encourage a child’s, or teen’s hidden talent….DO NOT exasperate your children, instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” Ephesians 6:4
• Shine with an open heart!

Browsing on some of the other  northern blogs....Cindy showed some lovely old seal skin kamiks which she was given and made duffels...so check out her entry http://furryfriends2008.blogspot.com BTW this was the BEST NEW BLOG in the Nunies!

This made me dig in the garage to find these from from my Grandpa Bill who did some homesteading in northern Alberta in the 1960s. Not seal skin but perhaps a worthwhile sewing project to take north and make colorful duffel liners? Speaking of planning for the trip north Got my long blue parka dry cleaned and best $30 spent with results...next to other heavy parka!

Polar bear print from Rankin finally framed and mounted on office wall!

View from office window at Mis where "on call" this weekend... 5 PM departure  yesterday and lovely red sunset. Sunday same spot but at 2 PM & what did I do but leave the lights on....on hold fro AMA for 13 minuites...finally gave up and flagged down passing motorist, used my own cables!
