Well here we are at the edge of 2009 leaning into the void to try for the first glimpse of what is to come. I don't know about you, but I am very excited. This current year has been filled with wonderful times for me and mine but has also had its share of challenges, hurts and plain old bad ideas. Just around the corner begins not only a new year but a new decade.
In this coming year my son will begin high school, my daughter will start 7th grade (what?), Mark will hit the one year anniversary of his new job (3 weeks in so far), I will re-learn my Spanish, rehab my knee (still pain free people), finally paint my kitchen, email less, use the phone more, keep up with my blog with weekly updates (really, I will), spend more time with friends (hear that Hula Honeys), think before I volunteer yet again, reinvent myself professionally, put myself a tiny bit closer to the top of my own to do list and giggle a whole lot more.
As I look around at the mosaic patterns that create my life's portrait...I am happy with who I am and with the people in my life. My universe has been expanding the past few months with re-found friends and family and for this I am blessed...you know who you are!
I have come through many a stumble over the past decade by just standing up and finishing the race. It has not always been pretty, but I have finished. I have learned a great deal about myself from my choices, good and bad. Some important people have come in and out of my life and I have learned that you should just not open the door for some folks if you know what I mean (and yes, you too know who you are). In the end, all is forgiven...I forgive myself for being profoundly human and whatever...it will make a great book one day.
So, get out there and thoroughly enjoy the dwindling days of 2009. We shall never pass this way again except in out own memory rewrites.
Avanti!
