As the new year approaches, I (like everyone else in this country) feel the desire to make a resolution. Then I read my blog post from last new year's and reconsidered. There are a couple items on that list that didn't get accomplished...hmmm. Maybe the year wasn't as long as it used to be? Maybe I've changed a bit and it's not quite as important as it seemed last year? I was feeling guilty, angry at myself and then my friend, Aimee Weeber, posted this on her Facebook:
Sometimes
we need to be reminded: "Today, you should celebrate
what an unbelievable life you have had so far: the accomplishments, the
many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served
to make you stronger. Just as a gem cannot be polished without
friction, nor can a life be perfected without trials. Take a time to
acknowledge your life and to praise yourself." (anon)
This coming from one of the most creative, kind, hard-working woman I've ever met! I forgot to mention she's also beautiful and FUN!

So today I will be doing just that! John and I have had tremendous joys and blessings this year and trials that are best left in 2010. I can keep last year's resolutions rolling into 2011 and celebrate what has been accomplished in 2010.
I have planned our New Years Eve of looking back at 2010 and remembering the incredible year we experienced!
