I LOVE this time of year...always have. It is a time of year to connect with family and friends, review the year past, and look with great hope and expectation toward the future. Tabula rasa, baby.
.
This morning, Ed and I sat at the breakfast table and documented some personal goals for 2008. The biggies on my list: to get my life in order ...in terms of advanced directives, living will, review of accounts, etc.,...and to complete a half marathon (or two?!?)...albeit walking not running. Ed's are a bit loftier...to include a start in the PhD program at UMKC and military advancement.
.
Today is also a very special day for Ed and I. Although we had met in passing a time or two prior through a mutual friend, we actually met and connected in a meaningful way at a celebration on New Year's Eve of 2001. It was a life changing event for me...and I've loved him since that very evening.
.
To each of you reading this...Ed and I wish you a bountiful 2008...filled with great peace and prosperity. Thank you for being a part of our lives...we look forward to spending time with you in the New Year and we wish you many blessings!

Awwww! You have such nice things to say about your Honey. :) You two really are a lovely couple.
ReplyDeleteAnd getting important things in order--sounds like a really good idea. I shredded old bills and receipts today. Can I count that as a start?
Happy New Year everyone! We'll be going to bed early and hosting a New Year's Day brunch for my family--my daddy is having a birthday. :)
A time for reflection indeed. So you are a walker too? I could get interested in joining you for some of that - running is not for me. A final brisket report is in order - had me wondering all day yesterday (:
ReplyDeleteHappiest of New Years to you and Ed - two of my newest and dearest friends. Cheers!
Let's walk!!! : )
ReplyDeleteand...YES, Kathy...shredding old stuff is a GREAT start...I've got to do some of that, too!!!
