Wow A Whole Month -- A New Year -2009


December was a full month of, friends ,family , fun, and sharing our good fortunes. Christmas was busy but worth every minute of stress. Sometimes I complain about all that there is to do , in preperation for Christmas, but when I look back, even just a few weeks later, I am so glad our family traditions are being carried on.

We ended our 2008, with the third annual Kimberly Ski trip. It is my immediate family, and Mikes sister and son. We have neighbors who also join in the fun. It was great to see my older son, hang out with all his little brothers, they will always have those great memories. I said to the kids, next year we will have to try something new. They all said NO!!! They really love this trip, so who am I to take it away, just because I want to be on a beach somewhere. So next year we will go again....

So 2009, is here, and in reflection , of 2008, I can't help but be so grateful for the life I have. I have a super family, and awesome friends. And health. It has been a hard year , for my sister, who has had heath issues almost the entire year, but am Thankful she is doing much better now.

So for 2009..... I will try to remember this great life.

Help others around me.

Thank God, for my good fortune.

Embrace my friends more.

Be patient with my kids ( this is not easy for me)

Love my husband more, not be so edgy with him.

Not be so hard on myself about my image.

Keep working out for my health.

Encourage my children to keep up the great work they already do.

Show my gratitude to my Mom and Dad.

And Have fun......

Of course there is more ,,,so much more...
