2008 - Now you see it, now you don't. Some highlights and lowlights:
-Braces - Yuck. But a good experiment on the benefits of eating in moderation.
-Ella's Birthday blizzard
-Margie's diagnosis
-NY Yankees trip
-Sarah's wedding
-A great visit from the AZ/NY Youngers
-Mason became a teenager
-And broke his arm
-a fantastic trip to Nags Head
-my 20 year class reunion
-Hardwood floors- what a project!
-Ella starts kindergarten
-Si's Santa outfit
-job loss
-lost a friend
-lost some steam from both...
-almost lost my garage door
-had a great Christmas
Now I get to reflect on a year that went by way too fast, but honestly I'm happy to see it gone.
I don't typically do new year's resolutions - if something needs to be changed, change it - not just because the calendar says Jan. 1 - BUT - I felt a surge today - something that made me think today is a clean slate.
I won't resolve to: exercise more, drink less or be a nicer person, (though I do want to get my butt moving a bit more).
I will work to:
-think less about death and more about life.
-be more focused at work and not mix work time and play time so much
-support Justin 100% in his self-employment endeavor
-pee my pants less when I sneeze
Happy New Year! Here's to a fantastic 2009!!
