New Year's and Beyond

Work, home, flu, repeat (throw in hand foot and mouth disease, oh joy). It's been a doozy of a year. I sometimes wonder why my immunity is low. I have a great husband, a nice home, a terrific job. Then I remember that we also have an unexpected one-year-old (not that we didn't expect her to make it to one year, more that she was unexpected and everything has pretty much followed from there), lost a home, lost a business, live with my mother, pay student loans... So, as I say, it's been a bit overwhelming.

So this year, I'm going back to what works--hiking, traveling, enjoying time with family (yes, even my mother), and time with my friends. Denise is coming to visit in a couple of weeks and Marcy and I are taking the kids to Second Saturday downtown. I'm also going to start going to Monday's Meet Me at Maynard's regularly. Anyone who wants to join us, feel free.

A happy and healthy new year to us all.
