Goodbye 2009. Hello 2010

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to thank everyone for visiting my blog this past year. I've enjoyed visiting all the blogs that I follow and appreciate all the posts that I've been able to read, share thoughts, laughs and support through comments and emails.

We have all had up's and down's this past year...hopefully, we have all come through the year stronger and wiser as a result of what 2009 dished out.

I have had friend's that I've had to say goodbye to, friend's that are fighting cancer, met people that I hope to get to know better, survived teenagers in crisis and repaired hurts during those conflicts, traveled to Alaska to see my best friend, celebrated my 50th birthday in Vegas, got a gorgeous Audi for my birthday (yes it was a gift!), saw my oldest daughter off to college, got a new tattoo, and enjoyed many blessings with all my children and other family members. The list goes on and on...but, I must say, I'm ready for 2009 to be over and I look forward to 2010 with much anticipation and hope.

I always think of the following song at this time of year...it's one of my favorites:


Happy New Year to all of you! I hope 2010 is good to you, take the steps to make it what you want it to be!
