Not a resolution

Just an opportunity to express my appreciation for everything that happened in 2008. And I do mean everything. To be human is to feel the entire range of emotions...and boy did last year run the gamut. I certainly don't feel short-changed in the life lessons category. But would I trade it for the dormancy of a life void of anything other than happiness? Not a chance.

Any parent knows just how much power their childs holds over their range of emotions. In the blink of an eye moving from a helpless creature, full of admiration, to a thoughtless little heart breaker. Yep...parenting a preschooler is kind of like being back in your most immature high school relationship capable of delivering the highest highs and the lowest lows.

The holidays have been amazing. A time to rest, relflect and be thankful. I feel mended...and I'm not sure I even knew I was broken. I guess that's what happens when life lives you instead of the other way around.

Here's to 2009...whatever it may bring.
