New Year's Eve is tomorrow? Where did 2014 go?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It seems that this year a lot people were sick over the holidays, myself included. I never had laryngitis and now I can say I have.  LOL  Other than not feeling well, I had a great holiday. I got to see family & friends. We spread some germs around so it was all good. I am hoping for a healthy New Year!

Which brings me to thinking about... New Years Resolutions.... I have the same ones every year. They are as follows:

1. To exercise
2. To get organized
3. Eat Healthy

The Fleming Library is now a part of the Fleming Centre which includes an arena, walking track and meeting rooms. To get more exercise I decided to find out what the Town of Lincoln has to offer in the way of programs.  Here is the list!

For my New Year's Resolution, I decided to take the Ballroom Dancing classes.  To compliment the course, I will be taking out DVDs and books from the Library on Ballroom Dancing. Here are some of the titles that the library has to offer. So hopefully 2015 will be the year that I can dance the nights away!
