Wrapping Up 2008

Funny! I just read what I wrote 2 years ago. Apparently I was a head case for a bit there. I'm really relieved for myself that I'm in a much much better place right now. Perhaps I should have sought some treatment! I was going to see if there's a way to delete some of that nonsense, but instead I'll just apologize to my poor husband for calling him an idiot and move on. (sorry, honey)


We have my niece Gina here with us for the week between Christmas and New Year's. It's so fun having a second one around. Today we went to Build-A-Bear so the girls could get new bears, and they both had a blast. We were there for 1 1/2 hours because it was SO crowded. Apparently a lot of people are opting out of this recession we're supposed to be having.






I titled this post "Wrapping Up 2008" because I had some thought that I'd sum the the year up here. I guess it's been fairly unremarkable!! Here are a few things I've learned or remembered, though:

1. It's good to let things go and move on (must be said with a wide sweep of the arm).
2. Not having your most fervent prayer answered can be hard. But it seems to get a little easier with the pain a little duller. This seems to be a good thing.
3. You can only do what you can do.
4. God is good. All the time.
5. People remember you by how you made them feel, not what you said to them.
6. Disney World is still my favorite place!!
7. I can go to the gym and not feel like fool!
8. I really do have more blessings than I could ever count.

Well, that wasn't too deep or anything, was it? I still have 2 more days of 2008 to come up with something better!!

While I'm at it...I need some resolutions. Only 2 at the moment.

1. Make an endocrinolgist appointment ASAP and stop putting it off!
2. Get back in the habit of exercising regularly, which was an all too easy habit to get out of!
