What, it's 2009? Oh my, how did that happen? Last year just flew by. I hope that everyone had a very happy holiday season. In a way, I think that getting pneumonia right before the holidays was a blessing - it forced my tired self to prioritize a bit, do what was most important and put aside what wasn't in a season typically filled with so much business that it has lost a bit of it's charm for me.
I'm not big into new year's resolutions (not ones that I keep, anyway), but decided this year that I would try to complain less and be grateful more (I am a bit of a whiner sometimes, I do admit). Dean promptly declared 2009 the year of the grumpy old man, and decided his resolution was to be more cranky, which will make my resolution a bit harder to stick to, I think, depending on his level of grumpiness commitment.
This year hopefully has some exciting changes in store for us, including finally living in a completely renovated house and becoming parents through the help of the fertility treatments which I am starting shortly. I also have plans for a few changes on the blog, including starting Project 365, inspired by the fabulous one elizabeth completed last year.
I love sitting at the beginning of a new year, with it's blank slate of possibility stretching out before us all. A time to shed bad habits and old skins and start anew with all the things that have been waiting to be completed. Here's wishing everyone all the best in 2009!
i feel exactly the same way about the new year. :)
