Bye,Bye 2009

Happy New Year.

As you can see, I have been buried in to-do lists and after-Christmas clean up and my poor little blog has taken a backseat.

But, I'm back...and reflective.

Along with the end of 2009, came the close of a decade- a decade which brought great joy and great sadness to my life.

I was blessed with three beautiful babies.
I also endured the difficult end to a marriage.
And, I lost my mother.

So...am I ready for 2010, to move on, to look to the future?
Absolutely.

I am going to spend the next ten worrying less and laughing more. I'm going to say "yes" to my kids more often. I'm not going to waste away my days cleaning and organizing, but instead get out, have lunch with friends, swim with my kids, and take lots and lots of pictures...

and...I'm gonna eat more cupcakes and listen to more Bob Dylan.

Happy 2010!
