Starting my first post with a goodbye letter to 2008.
What a year you were, 2008, you mercurial thing! You brought us synchronicity in its highest form and at the same time, incongruently, the death of a friend and precarious health in others. Our little family was lucky enough to hold our health, jobs and a roof over our heads.
Although the cloud of financial stress has passed over all of us, I have been actively counting my blessings. You, 2008, have reminded me of what truly matters in life: health, family, friends, and the ability to put food on the table and heat my home. If nothing else, 2008 was a billboard that reminded us of the intrinsic value of these very basic needs.
In light of all that has passed this year, we are grateful for the bounty of life and the love of friends and family.
Here's to 2009: a year of new beginnings and hope!
