January 6, 2015 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter 

Ok, stop the press. I've decided this year that I'm not making resolutions.  Please don't share this with my kids because two out of the three have already posted theirs and I need the other one to ASAP since last year they apparently used Scotch Tape to post them on the kitchen walls. So, when we took the 2014 Resolutions down they left gaping gashes in the Burnt Terracotta paint job we loved so.  First born must get hers up there immediately before husband notices and has conniption about the paint massacre and we have to all hear about the merits of masking tape. Why is this year different than all others? Why the hiatus on the personal resolutions? I quite naturally came to the realization that each year's successes or failures cannot be judged by little old me and that some things just have to happen to get to where you're meant to be. Happy 2015...Keep on keepin' on! Ps For those of you born after who knows when, Scotch tape = clear tape just like Xerox = photo copy.

Blue Skies, Donna Bennett
