Addition to Break-Off Collection

The right handle came off my glasses, and I was not able to re-attach it.  Therefore, I added it to my Break-Off Collection.  I was glad, because I hadn't found anything for the collection since  October.

A Bit More About My "Jots of Joy" Page

New Year's Resolutions

I've decided on my New Year's resolutions (only two) for 2013.

The first, which I've already started, is to make more frequent acts of Spiritual Communion.

The second is to read at least one classic a week.  It can be new to me, or it can be one I've read many, many times.   Children's books, such as Little Women,  Heidi, Pinocchio, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and the first two Pollyanna books DEFINITELY count.
