Happy New Year

I am a glass half full kinda gal.  To go through life any other way would mean I would miss out on too much.  I'm not saying that I do not take time to wallow...I certainly have had those woe- is- me moments, but I don't let them fester for too long. I need to stay in the present of here and now and not linger in the yesterday.

So out with 2009. It was a good year full of lessons to carry with me as my journey continues into 2010.

I look forward to new possibilities and adventures down the way...and in the words of Forrest Gump:

"Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get." 

Thanks for reading and welcome to the ride.

T'was the Night Before Christmas...

And I can't wait! I can't wait for the pre-dawn scuttle (that still happens, even with teenagers), to have the coffee self-brew on automatic timer and to fill the kitchen with the smell of cinnamon rolls. This is my favorite time of year!

I will be taking a short break from posting to the blog to enjoy some family time. I will be back in a few days.

In the meantime, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and here's to a Healthy and Happy New Year!
