what a year!

Many of you have heard me gripe and complain about what a tough year I've had.

Layoffs, losing a loved one, some personal trials as well.

2009 will go down in the history books as the year that kept throwing punches and I still got through it!

It wasnt all bad :)

I reconnected with many lost friends whom I love dearly through facebook...

though hubby gripes about the time I spend on there..(He has a valid point)

I count it as a blessing!

I have been able to shed some pounds

(although it keeps trying to find me)

...blessing

I feel tremendous joy when I think of the beautiful people my children are becoming

....blessing X 1,000

I have a gorgeous man in my life who loves and cherishes me

(thats you hunna)

I have wonderful friends in my life!

blessings, all!

I have had small accomplishments in my career.

blessings

I have been thinking about my new years resolution for 2010...

There is countless things that I can choose, I think I will do one big resolution for the year and then a monthly objective or two..

what do you think?

Albert Eintstein once said

"A life lived for others is a life worth living"

there it is..

my resolution..

If there is one big thing missing in my life..

its charity.

giving my self to ease someone elses pain, trials, etc

I am going to look into volunteering this year... I can't donate large amounts of money but I can donate time.

I have personal goals for 2010

strenghten my family and cherish my hubby

be more reponsible with money

be a better daughter

cultivate my creativity

strengthen my work ethic

be kind

and of course

lose wieght!

Happy new year all!

I am blessed beyond measure!
