it’s a new year

Jan 1, 2009

I can hardly believe that 2008 has come and gone – truly, time flies faster and faster each year it seems. This year I have been blessed so much, and more than anything, feel thankful for the relationships that continue to make me a better person. It would be difficult to highlight favorite moments from the year — there have simply been so many.

The tree is down and everything is pretty much back to normal, with a few days leftover for relaxation before vigorously attacking 2009.

I’ve never been one to make New Years Resolutions. Have you ever noticed when we make a list of resolutions for the new year, we always pick stuff we ought to do, not stuff we want to do? I figure, why commit to a whole bunch of things that you don’t want to do? No resolutions for me — but I do think it’s important to take time to reflect on the past year, while looking ahead with excitement to a new season in life.

So happy 2009 — and thanks to all who have truly made this year such a joy!
