We will meet every A New year has begun and with that, a new beginning. It is the time of year for resolutions and reflections. A time when we are either cynical about all we didn’t Thursday beginning January 16 achieve last year, or hopeful that this year will be even better. It is a time when it is through March 26.

As Thomas Edison either session. Contact Carole Yaney said, “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” at [email protected] if you enroll in We can start by reflecting on last year.

However, if we saw our years through God’s eyes, we would realize that it is every allows materials to be mailed day that we can make a new beginning, not only once or twice a year. directly to participants as well as access to videos online. You can A few years ago, I went through one of the worst year’s of my life. I was filled with register online anytime. Manual depression, suicidal ideation, and struggled to get out of bed in the morning and appear “normal.” I gained weight, lost motivation, and by all sense and purposes, registration forms are available in the “failed.” Not only did I not meet my resolutions, but I didn’t really “achieve” anything Gathering Area through January and lost many battles. But that year was not lost. In fact, as far as achievements 6. Cost of online registration is $33.10 go it was actually one of my best years of all. I survived. I got through one day (including tax, shipping and handling) at a time and lived to tell the tale. and cost to register in the Gathering Every year is different, just like all of us are different. So before you decide what Area is $35. you may like to work on this year, take a moment to look at what you achieved last year. It might not look as big or grand as those around you, but that doesn’t make WORKS OF MERCY BOOK you any less successful. For me, choosing to live everyday might have been more STUDY of an accomplishment than the resolutions of international speakers, book writers, or missionaries. It was my personal struggle, and through the grace of God, I won. Begin a new year by learning more about the works of The other mistake we tend to make as we begin a new year, is to unintentionally Mercy! We will be reading make an unattainable goal. We make a vague plan like, I am going to lose ten the book, “You Did It To Me,” pounds, without making a game plan. If we do come up with a game plan, it tends to be too complicated making it easy to fail. If we try to add exercise, eating right, by Fr. Michael Gaitley which discusses drinking more water, sleeping well, etc. to our healthy plan list, we are bound to fall the Works of Mercy and how to live apart somewhere. And as soon as we start to fall apart somewhere, it is easier to them in your daily life. For five weeks give up everywhere. Instead, we should use our goal as motivation, but not our we will meet at 7:00 pm in the overall resolution. For example, if I want to lose weight, my resolution could be to Mother Teresa Room, beginning start cooking healthy twice a week. Eventually I can add three or four times a week. , to discuss the readings for It may be summer before I finally have that down, but then I can add exercising January 8 once or twice a week. It may seem painfully slow, but if we try to start with the week and watch a short video. EVERYTHING it will be even slower since we are more likely to stop it all. This class is free including free childcare. Finally, while an overall big picture goal of a new year is great, it can also cause us to give up a few months in, as we start to “lose control.” A better goal, is to start new every day. To go to bed or wake up in the morning with a goal in mind SAINTS FOR THE NEW YEAR for that day. Then, if we don’t achieve that goal, we can learn and try again not As we begin a new year, you don’t next week or next year, but once again the very next day. have to travel alone!
