Ring in the new

As 2008 comes to a close, I'm reminded just how blessed and lucky I am. I survived my first full year of parenting, with barely a scratch on me. I have an amazing daughter who continues to shock and surprise me every single day with her new abilities and talents. She is a joy and a blessing, and it blows me away everytime I walk into her room in the morning and see her face smiling back at me, as if to say, 'Hey! It's YOU! Let's play, Mama!'

I have an incredible family, incredible friends - the few that remain. I have more now than I've ever had before. I'm not rich by any means. We're not well off. Hell, we're not financially stable. But we have eachother, and if I can ring in a new year with what I have and look forward to more - I'm luckier than any of the millionaires in the world.

Happy New Year!

Is NOT abandoned. Just was put on hiatus for a while as I was solo parenting while the other half was away working, then away hunting. Regularly scheduled programming to resume this week.
