This month we've been over the top in our cell phone usage. Four of us share these minutes. It has been a busy and expensive month. After tomorrow we can start fresh and be more careful.
Yesterday we had the family over for dinner. I ate way more calories than I should have. Today is a new day and I can plan a little better.
On Sundays I can partake of the sacrament, to renew covenants, to repent and make a new start.

A fresh start feels good!

Thank you for reminding me that today is Monday and I can start a new week fresh :)
I agree! I love being able to have a fresh start whether it is a new day of possibilities, a new month to do better or a new year to set goals. A new start brings hope for the future:) Great post Connie!
And I loved the Cracker Jack post below too. It so reminds me of my Nana. When I would go to her house as a little girl she would have Cracker Jack for me. I liked the tattoo prize the best!
Is it weird that I'm jealous of the font on your phone? Kinda fun:)
This week I got back from vacation and now have a fresh start on not being lazy, sleeping in and eating whatever I want. I think I'd like to go back...
I need to start exercising again. I've made the plan to start over every Monday for the past 5 Mondays. It's going really well.
Nice photo of Henry standing watch over the trash cans.
Fresh start for the soul - I'll be doing thing too! Thanks goodness we can have a fresh start everyday - it's never to late!
Connie,
What a great way to start this new school year and week.
I loved your post with all it's great possibilities of trying again
and given another chance to be better and do better.
What a great painting by Doc Christensen, I like the idea of thinking who is passing the sacrament... It is one I will remember.
Enjoy a great week:)
those cupcakes looked so gooooood
I think so too...now if I can just stick to that and rid myself of all the goodness I ate over the weekend! :D
I'm gonna have a fresh start NOW instead of this morning because I already had a bite sized candy before I read this.
Wait...what about my fudgesicle waiting for me at lunch? I may have to rethink this.
But yes, I LOVE fresh starts too!
Today is the first day of the rest of your life! ENJOY :)
That is darling! I love the post.
I should have read it this morning when it was a fresh Monday.
Too bad I've already blown it.
Gotta go, cookies in the oven are done!
Hugs!!!!
Amen!
A fresh start is always great.. and I always hate to miss Sacrament meeting.. just because I always NEED it!
My garbages ALWAYS look like that.. and why is it that I always remember to clean out my fridge the first day AFTER the garbage has been picked up! -- One day I will get it right!!
What a positive light for Mondays...A new start. I love that!! Thanks for the gentle reminder!
A fresh start sure does feel good. My favorite saying is "Tomorrow's a new day." Helps me get through the mess. Mimi
Here's to fresh starts! I am ready for some myself.
Hi Connie!
Nice post! It's a great reminder not to be too hard on ourselves, or take ourselves too seriously :)
Thanks!!
I LOVE this--Fresh starts do feel good.
Thanks for this wonderful reminder.
What a great thought! I need to remember this EVERY DAY!!
I have never seen that painting. I didn't even notice who was passing the sacrament at first and was trying to figure out why the woman looked shocked. :)
I realized that you are the only other woman in blogland that has posted about and posted a picture of GARBAGE!!!
I did this in July of 2008.
We totally rock!
It's funny, I just talked to my class about 'fresh starts' in a brand-new school year.
Fresh starts are the best. And P.S. I want that cupcake!
I love the photo by Doc Christensen!
My garbage is backed up into my garage. As I ordered a 2nd can that has not shown up as of yet.
we have a separate recycling day from our garbage pick up day.
