2011!!
I can scarcely believe it is upon us. I say goodbye to 2010 with a mixture of relief, gratitude and sadness. 2010, you took a lot from me. You also gave me more than I ever imagined. All I know for sure is that when I fall asleep at night counting my blessings, I fall asleep before I get to the end.
The best things to have come out of this past year are our move to the Village, the new family connections we formed and the amazing circle of friends that surround me, strengthen me and love me. No matter what. I love you, my friends.
It would be easy for me to get scared thinking of what 2011 has in store for me. I can't let the fear of the future hold me hostage. So here's to a year that I hope holds more love, friendship and dreams that come true.
Happiest New Year to you all.
Happy twenty eleven!!!

ReplyDeleteLovely thoughts for the New Year. I have to say mine echo yours VERY closely. It was a wonderful year, and a scarey year for our family...but we are so very blessed and I know it will all be well.
Looking forward to a bright New Year, and looking forward to getting to know you--will be back often.

...and to you! Hope 2011 is just as amazing
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to have found you again and I will put you on my Google Reader. I remember the sad story of your mother so well. I am headed into a sad year. My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer days after I returned home from Silver Bella. I, too, am trying to live the best I can and not let the fear consume me. I will be thinking of you.
Hugs,
Suz

ReplyDeleteBeautifully written, Jen. Blessings to you and your family in 2011 - and always.
