Happy New Year! And let me send out a "Happy School-being-back-in-session" to all of my fellow Mom's who might have gotten to enjoy some time to themselves a bit today. I loved the time with my family these past few weeks but I am not nearly as stimulating to my kids as their friends and teachers. At least not after three weeks of being together 24/7. It might sound strange but absence makes the heart grow fonder and I love the fact that I had a chance to miss them a bit this morning. It made the anticipation of the bus coming much more fun!
Now, onto the reason for the title of this posting. Since we are finally back in routine around here I had the chance to ponder a bit on what the new year holds. It didn't take me long to realize that no one really knows! (Except Leslie and Amy do know that they will be having babies). The anticipation is delicious. The other night at Jarv's work party I was discussing the fact that being as tall as I am, I assumed at an early age that being a jockey or a gymnist was most likely out of my reach. However, there are many other things that I haven't tried that I might be great at! There is nothing to say that I couldn't be an olympic diver, if I just put my mind to it. Or that if I really tried I couldn't be a pulitzer prize winning novelist. This 2009 has that feel to me, full of possibilities. I might try a few new things. Then there are those things that I might like to keep on the shelf to tell myself "I'm sure I would be great at that, it's just that I haven't tried!" Here's to all those things that might happen this year - I can't wait to write about them, and read about them when you write about them!
