I've never been one to make New Year's
resolutions; not because I don't keep them,
honestly because I'm not that much of a
planner or that organized for that matter.

One thing I do try to commit myself to, is to
learn at least one new thing each year. For
those that have known me for any period of

time, you know my passion for creating.
Whether it's crafts, cooking, wood work, metal
work, leather work or beading, I love it all.
Over the years, I've learned these skills partly
because I'm too cheap to buy most of these
things, but more so because my Dad instilled
a drive in me to be a continuous learner. He
was the same, always learning to do
something new.

He once told me "never pay someone to do
something that you can do yourself". My Dad
watches over me from Heaven now, and when
I'm building something new and using his
tools, it's like he's standing right beside me
teaching me.

If you are one to set goals for the New Year or

make resolutions, you might consider trying to
learn at least one new thing this year.

Thank you all for being part of the Parker
County 4-H Program and I wish you all a
Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2021!!
