2009

I can't believe I had another birthday yesterday and that this is the end of 2008. It has flown by....maybe because I spent almost two months of it down with a broken ankle. And when I look back I see we did a bit of traveling; Merida, Guatemala, Mexico City, Uruapan, Patzcuaro two times, and back to Texas three times. Of course world events have been coming at us faster than I ever thought possible.

Usually I make a list of things I'd like to work on during the year. If I made one last year I can't find it but I don't think I would have many things to check off because I don't feel like I accomplished much. I feel a little ambiguous about making a list for 2009. Already 2009 seems overwhelming and yet I'm looking at it with hope for our family, for my country and for Mexico.

Personally I have so much for which to be thankful. One of the things that I'm thankful for is the amazing people I've met though blogging.

Ned and I wish all of you bloggers and blog readers a healthy and happy 2009.

All the best to you and Ned in the new year...and I am sure you accomplished A LOT in 2008 and will again in 2009.

It really does feel like 2009 is going to be a very special year, with lots more optimism than usual.

Cheers!

Happy New Year! My DH asked me last night if I had any new year's resolutions. I said mine was to have two healthy babies. I think if I accomplish that one thing, I will have had a great year. And with other good changes at work for me, I'm looking forward to 2009 being better than 2008.
