Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Are you all ready for 2011? 2010 was a mix bag for me in terms of ups and downs. My Dad getting sick and spending three weeks in the hospital and we weren't sure if he was going to make it a few times was certainly one of the downs. And the on going process of the fall out from my marriage falling apart was another down. But I've never been one to look at my glass as half empty so my up's have been there too. Sometimes I think in the process of some big hits in your life comes the potential for big growth and I have seen that in so many areas in my life(and I thank God for them). I am much more independent than I have ever been in my life(yea, I still have some tweaking to do in that area) but before I would have felt so insecure going to functions by myself(especially when everyone came with a spouse) but I have no problem doing that anymore and I went back to work out of the house, which has been such a blessing. Hey, I even went out and bought my first TV on my own without anyone's help and I think I did a pretty good job in picking it out!! Ha! Might not be a big accomplishment for some but I walked out of that store feeling pretty good.........I was able to do some traveling and remembered just how much I loved that part of my life!! So yes, 2010 was full of ups and downs and I'm sure that'll be true of 2011 too but I'm also sure in the mix of it all will be that potential for mega growth!

Happy New Year friends!! When I count my blessings for the year, you guys are always part of it!
