WOW! I am so glad 2008 is over! Allen and I had a rough ride this year and looking forward to a new start in 2009!
I have been reflecting on what 2008 brought:
1) Surgery
2) Stroke
3) Diagnosis of MS
4)New house
5) Back to work
6) Creating!
I am thankful my #2 & #3 items were not completely disabling, of course it was months of rehab that helped and my darling hubby who helped get me back on my feet!! While I have my moments of ah what's that word or being tired, I am truly blessed to be able to go back to work and still make cards, scrapbooks, etc....Of course the weeks in the hospital were tough, friends and my mom, sister and daughter were there to encourage me. Allen is there too, he has been really great, sometimes I wonder why he does what he does- I am thankful he loves me the way he does!
What do I want for 2009? Ah so many things....
1) For my health to either stay the same or improve - do NOT want another hospital visit this year!!
2) Expand my creative horizons, reach outside of my box!
3) Really listen to people when they speak to me
4) Take more interest in the environment and what I can do to keep it "green"
5) Spend my time wisely
6) Make myself more interesting - I think I am boring sometimes
That's the short list, I am sure I will be adding to it as far as personal expectations for myself!
This is the first day of new beginnings and personal growth!
Have a blessed New Year!
