Dec 30, 2006

that was the year that was

i had this grand idea to make a post of a year in review.

then i got soooo bored reading about my life that i trashed it.

so instead, here's what i'm grateful for:

  • my marriage. it ain't perfect, but it is a work in progress
  • my job. again, it ain't perfect, but i'm grateful for one
  • all my blessings. a car, books, computer, the internet, a camera...of course it's not necessary to run a life, but it sure does make it more entertaining
  • the fact that i eat too much. not that i do, but that i have the ability to buy & cook food. i don't have to rely on soup kitchens, or trash cans. (besides, there's Weight Watchers, which we're joining after tomorrow.)
  • for modern medicine. if it weren't for that, i would probably still be on pain killers with a back that would just get worse
  • i'm so thankful for the friendships i've made here. you girls (and guys) offer me strength, laughter and most importantly your friendship & love.

let's make a date for next year: either your place or mine. i'll bring the chex mix.

happy 2007!

You are the best Valerie..your blog, your emails, the hallmark ornament, and your friendship and "listening ear" when I need to vent. All the best to you in 2007!
