Happy New Year

Another Year it went so fast,

Another month is in the past

Another day, but this the last

As we close the year

Another year to add to age,

Another chapter, turn the page

Another time, another stage

As we close the year

And whether old or young, a daughter or a son

My wish to everyone, my wish to you

Happy New Year, God bless you this year

Peace be to all here, Peace be to you

Had some laughs and shared some tears

Had some doubts and had some fears

Sure am glad that you are here

As we close the year

Time with kids who keep us young

Time to play and having fun

Time we shared with everyone 

As we close the year

Happy New Year Everyone ~

2010 was a good year for me ~ I lost 30 lbs :) and feel pretty good about that, I just hope when I get back on the scale after Christmas and all the goodies I've consumed I'm not 30+ lbs. heavier!!!!

I feel I'm getting to know myself better ~ and *if* you know me, and I know not many of you do ~ I have learned to listen to my inner filter (which I swore for years I never had!!) I have learned when to bite my tongue and not just blurt out what I'm thinking or feeling ~ weeeeellllllllll, I'm trying to to listen to it, and I'm getting way better at it than I have been in the past.

I'm grateful for having Ray's family, *my family* back in our lives :)  I'm sorry it took so long, but I'm very happy to have them here to visit with, talk to and get to know ~ and getting to know each grandchild is so special to me ~ they are all great kids and I love them all already :)

I hope 2011 is good to you :)

I'm going to Bellingham for the weekend ~ staying in our favourite out of the way place to just get away and chill out and do nothing but spend time with each other, and what better place or way to ring in the New Year with the person you love?

Short list of resolutions ~ and I mean SHORT, as I never stick to them anyway.

and as always #1 is (drum rolllllllllllll please)

Lose weight....enough said ~ I think this is #1 on almost everyone's list!!!

Post more on this blog ~ actually, I'm pretty impressed with myself ~ and doing a decent job of posting regularly ~ I have no idea how people with kids, jobs, lives post on this everyday or even every couple of days....I can't seem to manage it....of course my life isn't all that exciting that I have something to say everyday or even every couple of days.....

Count my blessings (more often) and be grateful for what I have in my life.  (This is one resolution I promise I will stick to and won't give up on ;)

Ok, I told you it was SHORT ~ LOL

HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ I'll be ringing it in at midnight eastern time ~ so I can be in bed at a decent hour.....God it sucks to be getting old!!!!

Be safe this New Year's Eve and if you're partying ~ please be responsible and don't drink and drive!!
