hello making time

Hello friends! It’s Monday–a brand new week and a fresh start. Last week I was rushed and behind all week. This week I’m determined to make time. I want to make time to rest, make time to get ahead, make time to breathe and make time to be with my family. I have enough time, I just need to use it wisely and plan so that I’m not frazzled and crazy! These pics were taken over Christmas time and they represent some breathing room and time with loved ones. How about some hellos?

***Hello Monday is where I greet the new week with an open heart and a fresh perspective. It’s a new beginning–and there’s so much to be thankful for! Join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section or linking up a hello monday post there!***
