As we head into February it’s time to reflect, renew, and keep pushing toward our goals. Keep striving to become a better you. “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” ~Winston Churchill 2019 seems to have begun with a jolt.

Out here on the Funny Farm we’ve been planning for the new year for about a year. We’ve been setting, expanding, and working on goals every month. Our schedules run so far ahead that it’s not as though suddenly 2019 strikes us as a surprise. In our busy lives, we have to remember that relationships…
