    And we're off!

    A new year is here. Let it begin! We are all off to fresh starts and resolutions. Kept or not, we make them anyway. 
     
    I have the most mixed emotions about 2008. I can't decide whether I should chalk it up to a bad year or good year. Let's leave it somewhere in between. It consisted of an end to one way of living and the beginning of another. I have enjoyed all the new firsts in the new house. I feel like it is ours now.  But, leaving behind a town that you have lived in for 16 years, and watching it slowly suffer, is at the bad end of the 2008 In Review Scale. My children have continued to surprise me on what wonderful little people they are. However, the past year has brought loss and pain to those close to us and even our immediate family. Like I said, let's leave it as somewhere in between. Speaking for only myself, I think a balanced scale is better than the scale weighing heavier on the "bad" end. I am satisfied with a happy medium.
     
    So, 2009 already, huh? I won't even try to predict what my year will be like. It will be as good as I make it. That I am certain of. I plan to do my best. Since I KNOW we won't be moving, we can maybe do some travelling this summer. I just look forward to the fact that we are not moving. Everything else can come as it may. I, for one, am ready and looking forward to another year to add to my memories. Good or bad...it's life.
     
    With that said, I need to tend to things around here. I asked for a Self-Cleaning House for Christmas, but apparently the elves don't make those...and it wouldn't fit under the tree. They also don't make self-sufficient kids, so I must make them dinner too. I don't mind Wink they deserve me. *Big grin*
     
    Happy New Year too all! Keep the resolutions simple so you can fulfill them.

    I never try to predict too much what's gonna happen in a year. But I do set azimuths to key events like a cruise, family reunion, and a certain number of musical performances a year. The year goes pretty fast as it is, I try to fill the moments with the people I luv and the work I enjoy as much as possible.
