Happy New Year

What is it about a brand spanking new year that makes you feel fresh– like you can start over and be resolute, a new chance. A do-over, with 2008’s mis-steps, challenges, behind you. With the past years success or experience, well in hand to serve you well in 2009.

I have only one resolution. Love more. Love my kids more (as if that is possible! Will be fun trying!). Love myself more. Be kind to everyone! Take chances, where I might not have in the past, with a dedicated focus on seizing happiness in the face of fear, and without hesitation. The possibilities could be endless….

I have had a blessed 2008. I got to watch my eldest grow from a little girl into a tween- with all of the growing pains that entails, she has come into her own with remarkable style and a even stronger sense of self. The little woman is if at all possible, sweeter than ever. I got to watch my brother fall in love with someone wonderful. I was blessed enough to be a part of my mother-in-laws passing from this life to the next, and experience the absolute strength of a family coming together to pray and love eachother through the pain and the sadness.

I got to experience my best friend have her first baby. To hear her talk about the magic that is that child makes my heart smile.

I got to become part of a group of friends that is strong- that I can turn to no matter what and know they will love me and be there for me without fail (and vice versa).

2008 was good. I brought in 2009 kissing someone who I want to kiss more. I think it’s going to be a good year…..

Happy New Year Internet.
