The beginning of a new year seems to spark the new to start fresh, to create new habits and break old habits. I don’t make new year’s resolutions, but I do set goals for myself.

The dogs get excited as they know what lies ahead. Sadly, the Big Bear Discovery Center was closed for the day as was the parking lot, so we had to…
