In 2010....

It's been quite a year for me, the more I think about it. I've done a lot this year. Life is a series of hills and valleys. Life has you going into and coming out of trials and hard times. But there are times of tranquility too. Times of rest. There are good years and fun years. 2010 was one of those. David and I were so blessed this year - beyond our wildest dreams. More than we ever began to deserve. Everyone in our lives is relatively happy and healthy. No major dramas or pains this year. We both held onto our jobs in this economy and I even got to add some new skills and responsibilities. It was a year of fun and adventure and love and dreams coming true. Looking back it was an interesting year.

1. Got to see Greenport, NY and Southington, CT and Shelburne Falls, MA and Kent, CT for the first time.

2. Took my first trip to Maine and got to eat lobster from Red’s.

3. Took a Beth Moore study that changed the course of my life (and David’s) in a lot of ways.
